It is ok to go out of county to have hooves or hair trimmed, but animals are not to be out of exhibitors care for more than 48 hours as stated by State Validation guidelines. If you plan on leaving the county for animals to be trimmed, please let me and/or the validation chairman know prior to leaving the county. Your cooperation is appreciated.
