What the hell is this all about!!! 40 years ago I watched beautiful TWH's strutting their stuff, but it was all natural! Why on EARTH are these horses now wearing such huge things on their front feet, showing totally unnatural gaits? These horses are absolutely being abused! And for what reason?!?! This is just one more case of the pathetic abuse of animals by EXTREMELY pathetic people! Where does it end?!?

[AngelBecca29]

That gait is as hideous as the methods used to achieve it. Not only should greater measures be used to prevent soring but the stacks and chains should be done away with.

Real horsemen don't show their horses.

[Lance DC]

if they know that its is done, WHY THEY DO NOT FIGHT AGAINST IT :l

This is sick.

Thank you so much for sharing, it really isn't humane to treat these animals like this! I've featured this video on my free resource horse website under horses and pain :)

[Lotr Lyd]

This is absolutely shocking. Horses are the most beautiful creatures how they are, why would people watch this and do this to horses when it is obvious that its inflicting pain on the horses. It is sickening to the core! Faith in humanity=lost.

[JG Mustang]

They should put these animal abusers in jail. This is not a breed, this is cruelty!

Animal cruelty fantasies are the refuge of inadequate types who can't deal with people, and feel they must take their frustrations out in fantasies about hurting animals, or with the biggest losers, actually doing it. You're trolling, telling yourself you're looking for amusement by provoking reactions, never daring to look deeper, and see the battered, dysfunctional spirit which is the real reason for the remark.

[Ambah s]

That is so stupid, who would think their horse looks great doing this? It's really moronic, and painful for horses to walk like that.

No. Just no you should have chains and burning chemicals wrapped around your arms and legs and then we see how you like it you sick low life scum.
