Ed,

While I haven't seen anything I do know that FL is running full bore to 
comply. FL has a federal grant and for a time span they are going to 
popular riding areas and putting in chips for people for a very 
reasonable price. The Ag stations at the FL border are getting ready for 
it. One of the Ag officers there told me "it's a done deal." I had to 
register my farm to get my coggins cards and equine passports this year. 
The vet told me that the reason these ID cards were so cheap (5 bucks 
for the Coggins cards) was the feds were subsidizing the cost.

It sounds like a fright train coming and will be very difficult to stop.
