Funny thing you should ask that - I have an appiontment with my vet after
work tonight. I'm actually going to get a health certificate and a coggins
test run on the horse I'm going to be taking out of state this year. I've
been told that the coggins tests are now good for six months. I'm sure the
vet will be able to tell me for certain.

Does anybody know how long the health certificates are good for? Is that
something I'll need to get everytime I travel out of state? Does anybody
else out there get coggins tests done? I'm doing it because I've heard of
people having problems entering the state of California with their horses,
and that's where a lot of rides will be that I'll be going to.
