I handle taking a lot of weanlings on consignment. I love to halter break so some of the neighbors have taken advantage of that. They pay for any and all expenses. I pay for any ads that I list them in. They do not have a current coggins as do none of my own. It costs too dang much for us to run a horse an hour one way to the vet, in the case they don't sell in that year time frame, besides they have to go again within 30 days to get a health to travel out of state. Once the payment is received on the horse, they are taken to the vet for health/coggins and brand inspection. Saves a good $100 per horse just in fuel and vet fees. I have a vet in SD that can run the blood in an hour if we have a shipper that is ready to ship asap. I have never had a buyer insist on a coggins being pulled first.

In Texas the seller is required to provide a current Coffins test. I vaccinate my horses annually for their protection. If I am interested in a horse for sale, the first questions I ask are about current Coggins and vaccinations. If they are not up to date, I move on. I guess the answer to your question is that the seller is responsible.
