Most equine owners know that a negative Coggins test is a document required to be able to transport their animal across state lines, enter them in a competitive event, or board at someone's barn. But what does the phrase "negative Coggins test" actually mean?

A "Coggins" is a blood test that can only be performed by USDA-approved laboratories and checks for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) antibodies in the blood. EIA is a potentially fatal blood-borne infectious viral disease that is primarily transmitted by biting flies, particularly horseflies—which means that your animals are at risk even if they never travel or live in a closed herd.

The clinical signs of disease can vary dramatically from an acute infection to an inapparent form, but what is important to know is that it produces a persistent infection. Once an animal tests positive for EIA it becomes a lifelong source of disease transmission, so the owner can only choose between quarantine for life or humane euthanasia to ensure that large outbreaks of the disease don’t occur. There is no vaccine and no treatment for EIA.

Take-home message: While a Coggins test is a necessary travel document, don’t forget that it's also first and foremost a way to identify and remove EIA carriers to keep the disease under control.

Walking back to the barn with an empty halter in one hand and braided tail in the other is never easy! Sampson you will be missed so much! Such a gentle soul. I’m so thankful India got you so I had the chance to take care of you everyday. I will miss our daily conversations. Rest easy buddy💜

Friendly tip from your Farrier!! Guys it’s hot, it’s dry (we really need rain) and the flies are taking over causing horses to stomp! Those hoofs are dry, hard and possibly cracking. A couple ways to help this: keep the ground around your water troughs very wet. Let the hose run for a little bit over flowing those troughs. And condition those feet 2 or 3 times a week🙂
One picture is my personal favorite, farriers fix, and the other picture is Buttercup demonstrating how to avoid the standing water🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

Well today was a first for Zuma! I shampooed and conditioned his mane! Getting him calm while hosing has been a challenge but now he’ll stand on the wash rack calmly while being hosed so we added a spa day! And since he’s been rubbing out his mane, he got a new scratching pad!
