Movement: Arrival: Comment on "agistment" term #38

Agistment isn't a commonly used word outside of Australia and New Zealand. Is there a more international term? We haven't been able to find one in the UK or US.

Agreed, in the UK animals are commonly sent "to/on tack". I did find mention of agistment in one UK science paper in regards to tack.

That said, I also ran these past the ICAR working group and they were ok with the phrase.
