you're all nuts!!! it's abuse!!!! anything that alters the natural way a horse moves is abuse! you people are crazy trying to justify it.
-
@JW4REAL @JW4REAL I agree with you concerning the foundering part and even the chains are not really a problem but, YOU know that there is way more to it than that. The care of the feel under the pads is always a concern as well as the way padded horses are started is pretty rough stuff. The problem comes from the soring and more so the pressure shoeing. that stuff is midevil. These days are over and its time to stop defending it. People will always do what they feel is needed to win but enough

@Kayse38134 You turn your padded horses out in a paddock...RIGHT!! Good luck selling that.

@hillbillyhoodoo I do not think all padded horse owners are abusive :-) But there have been cases where horses have gotten far by using different techniques to disguise the effects of irritants. Now it is true that these substances can leave marks, but once removed a horse can actually learn to do the exaggerated gait after the original irritant is gone. It is classical conditioning. Also there may not be consistency of testing. Too difficult in some areas (like yours) and not enough in others

I just feel like I have to say that people do not have a problem with just the chains. I do no think the intention was to attack all padded horses.

this makes me sick to my guts how could people do this i just understand

This makes me laugh! You Gojoe or coppertox , kerosine on a horse and think your gonna get through inspection your a idiot! It will cause the skin to blister, scab, scarf, split, hair slippage Im sorry ppl this may have been used in the past but there is NO WAY a horse done like this will make it through DQP! My horse gets a friken tick or fly bite on its pasterns and I CANT GET THROUGH! Cure em or Kill em you say? Riiiiiiiiiiight I spend this kinda money and oil it within a inch of life O_o

I will agree with Kayse. You dont have to sore to compete. My friend has a natural walking horse. Of course he doesnt look stupid like these horses, but she blows out all the smaller horse shows.

@tinacrook I use chains on my horses but there NEVER sore, Its as harmless as me wearing a braclet! Dont judge every padded horse just b/c some trainers are cruel! My horses are happy, full of life horses who love there job
This video blows things WAY out of porportion! Yes i agree soring does go on ( just like SOME pleasure horses are tranqulized to perform better & SOME running horses are shot up) I have shown for several years and NEVER had my horses sore and have won many shows...My horses love there jobs, They get turned out in a round pen daily to eat grass & hay, there playful & loving horses! In the winter the pads come off nad there turned out to pasture from Oct. to April 1st! Dont judge us all~

@tinacrook She should be taught the correct way to ride. Regardless if that horse has made 10 million dollars its still a "trottin ass" horse (see video...its trottin). You dont know what I do for a living, and i know theres a slight problem in the TWH industry. Its just not as bad as you and the media is making it out to be. Like i said, Propaganda.......and your falling for it.
