Title: "There is always a well-known solution to every human problem--neat, plausible, and wrong

The certificate of veterinary inspection is more commonly known as a health certificate and it is just not KY. You will need that is less than 30 days old  to cross state lines with a horse.  I've been stopped on the highway in KY and Georgia for check of  my horse's health papers. If you travel into FL you will stop at the ag stations and if you don't they will run you down and stop you. All states maintain the right to stop you and check health papers.

The good news is in the SE US you can get an Equine Passport that extends your health certificate for 180 days for travel in most of the SE states.

What is a certificate of veterinary inspection, and what do you have to do to get one?  If it's too much of a pain, that would admittedly influence which rides I decide to do, which is kinda sad for people trying to put on rides in Kentucky, but I figured I'd ask to see exactly what this requirement is?  Thanks!  -Michelle
