RE: [RC] Fw: health passport - Jim Holland



Truman, for clarification, I believe Florida is the only state ISSUEING the
passports.  They are ACCEPTED by the other states.  However, you can't get
the equine passport you refer to unless you LIVE in Florida.  Hopefully, the
other states will start issuing their own at some point.  Right now, all
Georgia will issue is an "event permit", good for six months.

You should point them to FL. You could always get a six month extension 
to a healt certificate (a copy into the state along with copies of the 
coggines) for travel between FL, GA and AL. As of this year you can now 
get an "equine passport card." This is a six month health certificate 
passport for travel in most of the SE states plus, OK, LA and Ark. The 
only SE state not participating is, you guessed it KY, but the state vet 
told me he believed KY will come onboard soon.

You send to the state a copy of a valid health certificate, a copy of 
your coggines and a three digital pictures of your horse (one from each 
side and a face shot) and they will return to you a card about the size 
of your passport - a card about the size of a drivers license with the 
three pictures of your horse and all the current coggins and health 
certificate data. If he is chipped, branded or tattoed that will also be 
noted. It just started this year and was free. I think next year it will 
be five bucks per horse - but that's a bargin.

Works great.

Truman
