What is Soring? : The Humane Society of the United States
This article tells how they create painful sores on horses so that they will execute showy gaits.
Or they at least think it is showy.
I didn't see a similar thread here and wanted this to come the the attention of as many people as possible. Maybe together we can create enough outrage that we can get this practice eliminated.
There are not enough official inspectors to monitor the situation.
Shame should be brought upon those who abuse these horses.
My personal opinion is that they should be executed. (The abusers that is.)
