I live in Illinois and try my darndest to get out out of the state to ride in Indiana, WI, and MO. The grass is always greener...........

This was started to regulate where the horses were going to & coming from to halt the spread of diseases, possible terrorists activity, (spread hoof & mouth) or worse. I had heard about this but it used to last for 30 days, now you have to have this number 72 hours before you leave. For those riding in Illinois this can become a problem. Some camp grounds are wondering where all of the riders are. If you decide on the weekend lets go train at such & such trail & it is just across the line into Illinois you don't have time to get this number from your vet. Can everyone see the problems this is causing? Or could cause? We all need to be calling, writing to the proper authorities, departments to get some change here, it is & will be effecting our riding of the trails. What if some of the other states decide to incorporate this, like Kentucky?????? Also remember you have to get this number from a veterinarian. We already have to have coggins & health certificates, do you see vets charging a fee to issue this number, at the last minute, they could. Just some thoughts for everyone.
