You are absolutely supposed to have a coggins on the horse. They
were willing to pay to have the coggins done themselves, but the folks couldn’t
be bothered to even be there. HE’s just a horse. We’re walking away. He was
just a good price, size, and temperament. The kids really liked him and felt
comfortable on him. He belonged to a friend of a friend and we were trying to
get him sold. I don’t’ think we can trust them to give back the money if he
came up as positive. I don’t believe they are that trustworthy. The family
situation of this horse is really complicated and dramatic…just more reasons
not to get involved.

It's
not against the law in Colorado, but I thought Texas required a Coggins....if I
really wanted the horse bad enough, I guess I'd cough up the money for
the Coggins myself.
I
wouldn't buy any horse without a negative Coggins, and I definitely wouldn't
pay up front expecting a refund, since if a horse has a positive Coggins they
should be euthanized immediately.
