NEW! 2019 Horse Vaccination Requirements

This year, the Franklin County Fair is requiring all horses exhibiting at the fair to have documentation that their horse has received the following core horse vaccines. All of the vaccinations must be done in 2019.

• Eastern/Western Equine Encephalomyelitis
• Rabies
• Tetanus
• West Nile Virus

In light of having to cancel our vaccine clinic, the Franklin County Junior Fair Horse Committee changed some deadline requirements.

DUE JUNE 8: Stall request forms with payment, proof of all vaccinations given, and proof of Negative Coggins, OR that the Coggins has been PULLED (via itemized receipt or copy of Coggins paperwork) and the results are still pending. You do not have to have the result, but proof that a veterinarian has pulled blood for a Coggins test is REQUIRED. But if you do have the results, please submit them.

DUE JUNE 29: Proof of NEGATIVE Coggins result due by the end of Pre-Fair Grading if you were still waiting for results at the June 8 deadline.

• No horse will be assigned a stall until a Negative Coggins has been provided, so the sooner you can provide your results, the better! Especially if you want a certain stall block.
• Please submit print outs of digital Coggins, or COPIES of paper Coggins. Always keep the originals for your records.
• Please don’t forget to get ITEMIZED receipts from your veterinarian that specifically show what vaccines your horse received, and if Coggins was drawn, and on what date.
