Re: hunter/jumper tack and apparel for sale
I dunno...it's not the mileage as such, but rather the headache of trying to get it cleared thru' MAF and Customs (danged biosecurity, you know). Think I need to do some research... of course, part of the research is gonna be how to explain to hubby I need a saddle, when we have about 20 English saddles sitting in the tack shed... :laugh1

1) it's made of leather
2) it's horse gear
3) it's used and has been on livestock
4) you're on a farm.
Technically, if you were to come over, since you live on a farm, you would have to declare that and walk thru' disinfectant and/or remove your shoes to have them cleaned by the MAF inspectors at the entry point. Biosecurity is taken very seriously...even Prince Charles had to walk thru' a disinfectant wash when he came over while the UK was dealing with foot-and-mouth disease. And don't ask about what happened with the EI outbreak in Australia and our borders! Friend of mine is still waiting for her new Welsh stallion she bought right before the outbreak to be shipped over.

Heh, I used to have one that came with Ginny but I didn't have any use for a black bridle so I got rid of it. I'll keep my eyes open for another one.
I'm still curious about this biosecurity thing. So if I went to New Zealand and had to go through the disinfectant stuff, would they also go through my luggage and disinfect the other shoes I may have worn on my farm? It must suck a little to be on an island and have to be so careful!

Honestly, I don't know...I was 'farm-free' for the appropriate amount of time in Florida before coming here, so didn't have to go thru' anything. And all my shipped goods were fumigated right before I closed and sealed the container. As for sucking? We don't have to vaccinate for WNV, rabies, EEE, or pretty much anything other than tetanus and rhino. Seems a fair enough trade to me! :booty :laugh1 :HB
