The better question is, who is Coggins? Dr. Coggins was a veterinarian who developed a test (now called the Coggins test) to detect a disease in horses called EIA. EIA stands for Equine Infectious Anemia and is a blood-based parasite that is transmitted through mosquito bites between horses. Because EIA is incurable and fatal in 30-50% of the cases, a negative Coggins test (often referred to as a "Coggins paper") is generally required before a horse can be transported across state lines, shown, bred or moved into a new barn or stable.
