I've often wondered for years.  Today I decided to look it up...

A Coggins test is a blood test that detects Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA), a viral disease that affects horses, donkeys, and mules (does it include the "asses" who bet on horses?  😉 ). EIA can cause fever, anemia, and death. The test is required for horses' interstate travel and is often requested by equine facilities and competitions.

Glad you figured out the whole “google” thing.  99% of my “insights” are highly “researched” from one of the googles.
