USDA has enhanced their inspection procedures.

Here is a short overview of some of the inspection procedure changes that are effective immediately. Please refer to the USDA website for the complete details.

NO TACK ON HORSE (BRIDLE OR HALTER WITH LEAD REMAINS ONLY)

PULLING SHOES (WHEN REQUESTED AND FARRIER AVAILABLE)

HOOFTESTERS MAY BE USED ON ALL HORSES (FLATSHOD AND PADDED HORSES)

NO ACRYLIC OR ANY OTHER HARD SUBSTANCE USED AS HOOF PACKING

The new procedures will be used this show season including our next show on February 28, 2009. Please be prepared to have your horse go through inspection without tack and wearing only a halter or bridle. All horses must be checked without tack pre and post show (winners post show).
