I love the ignorance on display here. " Pads are cruel and cause pain and harm and anyone who can't see that is an idiot." Big lick horses are not my thing. I think they LOOK stupid. But I've known big lick horses that were still sound and working at 32. Show me any other breed or type of horses that COMMONLY has that kind of longevity.... waiting.... Its no more cruel that high heels on women. Soring is cruel. Pads and chains (ankle weights) are not.

This is disgusting, what they do to those poor beautiful horses.

Although I am completely anti-Big Lick, you would have to show that this horse does not move this way without action devices, before it can farely be used as evidence that the pads are harmful.

@trainiac1234 Without a doubt this horse has been sored. He looks like he has the pads on in the front and probably the metal bell boots to make him pick the feet up higher. We had a horse that will more than likely be crippled by the time he's 10 at our barn, the idiots broke him too early, then trained him for big lick. They took 4 syringes of fluid out of his knees and he was lame 75% of the time.

That's fucked up.

@LeftBehindScar No, you just don't do anything that would make the sores in the first place. THAT's how you make it stop.

Ok!! PEOPLE! CHILLAXX! I have a World Champion Tennessee Walker (Dads dad "The Ghost That Walks"), If you do so of what i say to make the horse not be in pain and have no soring, and / or scars is if you put wraps from the top of your horses hoofs and up to their knee, then it makes the soring stop! So please! stop arguing about it... I may only be 10 , But I know how to stop it , Been doing it sinse i was 5!...

@trainiac1234 that is not normal.... if a horse has turning or"sliding" of the hocks it came not be fixed.

@nanakla That is the truth.. sadly most horses never came back from this.
My heart goes out to these poor horses.
It needs to be stopped, I cant even comprehend how people can look at pictures of these horses moving and see anything but torture. The horses live a life filled with pain, I don't even know how they do it.

Pads cause harm - if nothing else, the unatural movement and angles damage the horses long term.
