Equine Health "Self-Certification" for Competitors;
Self-Certification of Equine Health Form - For 2009, a Self-Certification of Equine Health Form is required for each equine entering a fair/show-type event where multiple livestock species are present. The form must be available for inspection if requested.

So, now it is official: horses traveling to Maryland from states adjacent to Maryland and from New Jersey are exempt from having to have a a CVI on file with MDA. And this is now on the MDA website.

Please see below for MDA's official policy. Or click through to Animal Health Requirements for Admission to Maryland Fairs & Shows




I show alot in Maryland.
But be warned just because it's happening in Maryland it won't be long before other states get the same idea.
As everything else it's all about money.
