Oh me! Oh My! Travel Paperwork is daunting
Finding what Lilly needs to successfully enter Wyoming was hard. Pennsylvania DOES not do brand inspections BUT Wyoming does. So moving your horse from state to state when they do not have the same requirements can make it challenging. It is also VERY hard to find the correct information. I scoured the internet searching high and low for the information. So hopefully other people find this helpful.
1. Call your Brand Inspector (Wyoming)
Phone call with Laramie's Brand Inspector Roger things he said I need
- Coggins test
- health inspection
- person - write me a bill of sale
- we use coggins and bill of sale to write the brand inspection
- give him a call when the horse gets here - he will come out and do the inspection
He also gave me other tips
- in Wyoming - you need to have a brand inspection done - any time you take and transport even to another county you need a brand inspection
- lifetime brand inspection - good for the horse the whole time you own the horse - never have to have it inspected again
I used these websites to try to find information about Wyoming and Pennsylvania.
- Brand Inspection A Forms and L Forms are the only forms that allow animals to cross a state line. o A health certificate from a licensed veterinarian is required to cross a state line.
- Keep in mind that health inspection costs vary and they must be written and used within 30 days of travel.
- A negative Coggins test performed by a licensed veterinarian is required to cross a state line as well.
- Keep in mind that it takes 3-4 business days for a Coggins test to be completed and costs will vary.
While waiting for Roger to return my call, I called the Wyoming Livestock Board they told me that I will need a
- Health Certificate
- Coggins Test
- some kind of paperwork showing ownership. They recommended I call the brand inspector for my county as he will have all the information on what paperwork is required. So I already called him and I am waiting for his return call.
This is more information I found in my search before I talked to Roger
It is recommended to get a lifetime brand inspection (Form L) (which I will definitely be doing) so I do not need to contact the brand inspector every time I want to take my horse to another county within Wyoming.
