In Georgia also, only when you transport a horse. I don't have coggins on my 
colt or my mare.If I am not taking them off the property, like most around 
here we don't bother. I did look at a horse when we were first in the market 
from a 'dealer' and he had one we liked ,but didn't have a coggins ,but he'd 
gotten the horse a week earlier.I asked knowing you had to have one to 
transport, his reply was,"there are lots of backroads into the state". I 
later realised he could easily be  one of the people who were responsible 
for the occasional   outbreaks in Ga. but it was 5 years ago.Still wonder if 
I should give the heads up on this guy as he is still 'dealing'.
