Both the Negtive Coggins and Routine Health Certificates must be presented tothe Show Secretary upon arrival and therefore should not be mailed in with your entry form.An official from the District Board of Health will be present to inspect all certificates.

During the WIHS, the veterinarian’s phone number will be posted in the Horse Show Officeand in the Stabling Office. United States regulations require that all equines be covered byofficial interstate health certificates, issued by a licensed veterinarian, showing that the animalsare free from any symptoms of any infectious or communicable disease. The certificate shallinclude the name of the owner and address, destination, number of horses examined, thename, registration numbers(s), if any, tattoo, if any, sex, age, rectal temperature, color, andmarking of each animal listed. Health certificates will become void after 30 days from issue.Health certificates must show animals to be negative to an equine infectious anemia test withinthe past 12 months. Date of test and approved laboratory must be shown on the healthcertificate. Equine Rhinopneuonitis vaccination is not required; however, if any animal isvaccinated, it is ineligible for entry within 21 days of vaccination. Vehicles transportinganimals must have certificates showing that they were cleaned and disinfected under veterinarysupervision prior to loading. This information can be written on the health certificate.

CUSTOMS FORMALITIESBefore a horse can enter the United States, it must have an import permit, a health certificatefrom the country of origin (signed by a veterinarian), and a negative CEM culture takingwithin 30 days of import (for mares and stallions). If allowed into the country, all horses mustbe placed in federal quarantine at a USDA animal import center, which usually lasts two orthree days. In the United States, there are four ports of entry for horses coming into thiscountry—Los Angeles, Calif; Newburg, N.Y.; Miami, Fla.; and Honolulu, Hawaii.

Each horse brought into this country must pass through one of these USDA facilities. Duringthat time, the horse will be tested and observed for clinical signs of illness resulting from“exotic” diseases such as dourine, glanders, piroplasmosis, or more common diseases such asinfluenza. After quarantine, the mares and stallions over 731 days of age (two years) which arenew to our country must undergo CEM quarantine at a separate facility.

NF’s holding an international event in their country should inform their national veterinaryauthority and their customs authority at least four weeks prior to the event. They shouldrequest every facility to assist the movement of horses/ponies accompanied by FEI passportsand the necessary veterinary certification at frontier crossing points into and out of theircountries. (Vet. Regs. Art. 1004.2)

INSURANCESAll owners and competitors are personally responsible for damages to third persons caused bythemselves, their employees, their agents or their horses.
