The first part of the video is great. The 2nd part is disgusting. I have 2 TWH and I just can't believe in this day & age that this type of flagrant abuse is being allowed. Chains on the feet - yes that is abuse!! How many NAILS does it take to hold those things on? How much weight on GLUE and ADHESIVE materials? I say get rid of the USDA involvement, and someone should call PETA. Give me a break.
How about boycott FORD and PEPSI!! Look who is sponsoring this year's Celebration!!
I am sorry, but its a proven fact that chains do cause swelling and pain. Also, the stacks are very uncomfortable for the horse, That too is a proven fact. Anyone who disagrees should put on a pair of platform shoes and run in them a couple of times around the arena...Natural is best for horse and rider and having a horse unshod is best for the horse, with a few exceptions. The only reason people ride their walkers in this manner is simply for self gratification and nothing more!
This is abuse plain and simple. Why in 2011 are we still alowing such horrible torture of the TWH? How can any horse owner in their right mind think it is okay to abuse their horses? This makes me sick. Just sick.
What sweet and tolerant horses. I honestly don't know how anyone can claim to love these horses and put all that artifice on them. It's ugly, unnatural, and yes, abusive. All of those horses that are being ridden in the Big Lick look totally distressed with their limbs flailing all over the place like that. It is, quite frankly, disgusting.
Me, you thetwh, and most trainers know that a properly fitted and applied stack doesn't hurt a horse. That said, unfortunately, most horses shod in this way are also sored as well. It is also true that a 4 ounce chain doesn't hurt a horse, but used in conjunction with a sored pastern causes AGONY.
I love the walking horse....don't care for the padded, but that is because I don't care for the look of it. I have been around walkers long enough to know that they are not all mistreated, but still...looks too unnatural for me. Nice video clip tho.
because i feel that even those who make ignorant comments r entitled to an opinion. i allow fr those such as u to see wat many who don't fully understand the breed think. it is sad but true that ther r many who don't understand how precautions r taken to protect the horses. i hope that the bad comments would give us the lovers of the breed a chance to read them and see y many oppose the sport. we cannot progress unless we take the critiques and challenge them

I have had Walking Horses for twenty years now. I would never ever abuse them. I love them, they get treated better than I do!
