Horse Health Requirements

GMHA requires a negative Coggins and proof of current rabies within one year of event dates.  Rabies titers are accepted within one year of event dates and must accompany a note from your veterinarian explaining the reason why the vaccine could not be administered. In addition, vaccinations for influenza and rhinopneumonitis (EHV-1 & EHV-4) within six months of event dates are REQUIRED for each horse that comes on the property.  These health documents must be submitted to event management prior to unloading.

Please note that the State of Vermont requires a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection within 30 days or Exhibition Permit from the Vermont Agency of Agriculture’s Animal Health office for any horses entering the state. GMHA does not require these documents with entry, but the VT Agency of Agriculture may enforce these regulations at any time.
