Please sign this petition in support of the PAST Act, to end horse soring
There have been too many confusing stories in the news about soring. Its really simple… according to the Humane Society: “Soring involves the intentional infliction of pain to a horse’s legs or hooves in order to force the horse to perform an artificial, exaggerated gait. Caustic chemicals—blistering agents like mustard oil, diesel fuel, and kerosene—are applied to the horse’s limbs, causing extreme pain and suffering.” The Tennessee Walking Horse industry will survive and flourish. True trainers will take the time to use proper methods to train Tennessee Walking Horses to reach their full potential as show horses without soring.
Keith Dane, Vice President of the HSUS, has sent out a request for signatures to a petition in support of the PAST Act, to end horse soring. Please take a moment and click here to sign the petition.

I would really like to take some of the same chemicals used on the horses and pour them down the buttocks of the trainers that used them on the horses…

Soring should be immediately and quickly terminated. It does not do the equine any.good as.it is for mainly the.look, or moreover the.stupidity of what the.person thinks looks “right”. In short, it is dumb!

This is cruel, barbaric and unsportsmanlike. I have been a volunteer at an equine rescue ranch fior 7 years and seen it all. But this is deliberate by so-called normal people who supposedly are unto horses. As usual for Americans in particular it is about greed and ego rather than shwowing these beautiful, intelligent animals. We are supposed to be civilized people. But a civilization is judged on how it treats its weakest members. These animals can certainly defend thenselves-They outweigh their puny abusers by hundreds os pponds but they are toodecent to do so.

If judges didnt award for the big lick then maybe this practice would die down we should be seeing the horses natural gate not one artificially created by barbaric practices

How about the owners, sponsors, the public that pay money to see horses, put into gruesome pain, traveling along as cripples, a caricature of a sound,healthy, pain free horse. Pretty mean & nuts.Very mentally ill people doing torture to horses for EGO & money!
Kathy O'Clair Perry
This is so cruel and needs to be stopped!
Gail Murray
Any treatment of horses or any other animals that would induce pain or any type of physical suffering in order to produce an exaggerated physical response should be outlawed. If we condone this type of unethical treatment of any of God’s creatures aren’t we then the animals?
Denna Stone
Agree with every word Gail Murray said. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to help these magnificent animals.
Mechel Meinecke
Please stop!!
Cheryl
Please stop!
Roger Simmie
There is no need to torture an animal to force a response to appease a human trick. Its one thing to feed a treat to an animal for a chosen response but immoral to cause an animal pain to force a response.
