IDAHO HEALTH & BRAND REQUIREMENTS

Someone asked about requirements for coming to our
ride in Idaho. According to our head vet, Sarah
Metcalf :

We will not require any health or brand certificates
at the ride site.

You may however be stopped at any Idaho weight station
and be required to have a current health certificate
and a brand inspection certificate. Idaho is one of the
few states that does NOT require a coggins test.

Best to check with your own vets for details on getting
this done.

Also, as an update, we WILL be having communal water tanks.
EIA is insect transmitted, and VS, while transmitted through
saliva, is ALSO insect transmitted, so we would not be
eliminating the possibility of spread by changing our water
trough set ups.

I'll be off line the rest of the week....maybe sitting at
home reading and eating chocolates ?
