Everyone that ships or travels w/ horses in North

It is a federal requirement that a horse have a current negative "coggins"
to cross state lines. Each state has EIA test requirements, that you should
check on. These websites will give you telephone numbers to call for current
requirements by law for transporting horses into or through each state. You
ALWAYS need a negative EIA (equine infectious anemia) test: (either an AGID
[coggins] or ELISA [quick test not acceptable everywhere] ) and a Certificate
of Veterinary Inspection (aka Health Certificate) in order to cross state
lines with a horse.
State Brand Requirements &
Regulations (updated Aug 2003)
Some states (certainly out west) are "Brand States" and have additional
regulations concerning brand inspections, and bills of sale. Most all states
have some brand rules that you need to check on before transporting your
horse over state lines.

you need to know to ship horses, across state lines, and to other

Subject: Mexico Transport From: "Worley's Hauling"
<Mari@WorleysHauling.com> Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002
I just got an e-mail from someone looking for information about transport
to Mexico. To date, we have never transported into Mexico and I'm not sure
I would want to. We also have never met horses at the border or taken horses
to the border. Is there someone on this list who can provide information
about this or direct me to a website with transport requirements, etc. coming
and going? The person inquiring was told there is a quarantine period prior
to getting into Mexico. Are there specific border crossings only? Thanks.

Hi Mari, I have and will never do it again, it is very expensive and
troublesome with the Federales - not worth the trouble. You may have better
luck but all I know that have hauled anything in to Mexico will tell you
the same thing. Best of luck and God Bless, Jim
We are several that has investigated importing semen to Europe, with the
result that bringing in doses for 10 - 20 mares (which would be minimum since
the fixed cost is so high, the more to split it on the better), would cost
the same as importing a stallion himself. Also the cost of insemination is
high with frozen, practically the mare has to stay at an equine reproduction
station where she can be ultrasounded every 6 or 8 hours. And the rate of
conception is lower than with fresh semen.
To Norway and Sweden the stallion has to be approved for breeding first.
Which normally requires that he has a good performance/showing record. Not
sure how hard they are on curlies, since it is not a typical performance
or showing breed. But at least he has to have a high percentage of live foals
on frozen, to become approved. Which means that nobody of the US stallions
are close to qualify yet, as I think Digger is the only one that is frozen
and he has not any foals on the ground from that freezing.
Next the stallion has to quarantined before the collections, just like if
he was to be exported himself. The cost of doing all this is quite high,
you have high costs of shipping, storage, vet bills and insemination, and
you don't get anything of this back if the mare does not conceive. The situation
here is that if somebody wanted to do this they would have to charge a couple
of thousand dollars more for the foal and no buyer will pay that when they
can buy foals sired by the European curly studs for a lot less.
I hate to be so negative, and the Australian regulations MIGHT be easier
to work with than the European, so go out and check everything, all costs
involved.
My guess is that you will find out that your best bet is to find a good mare
of your preferred type in the USA, have her bred there to a good unrelated
stallion (preferably homozygous so you don't get a straight foal over there),
and then import her pregnant to Australia. Or even better two unrelated mares,
pregnant with unrelated stallions, so if one gets a stud colt he in turn
can breed the other mare and also if the other mare gets a filly first, that
filly when she matures.
Or find a straight mare at home that is likely to produce the type of horse
you want with the curly stud in Victoria, and have her bred with him and
hope for a curly baby. That would be the least expensive way. Lene
