At the Germantown Charity Horse Show 2008. Tennessee Walker 3-year-olds are old enough to canter with the heavy shoes. It is beautiful...but does it hurt them? I don't know.
@wrxhenry but they are bad. They wear sores on the poor things ankles. You can look at any padded walking horse and see they are NOT happy and do NOT like their job. If they did they would have their ears perked and a pleasant expression on their face.
@wrxhenry thats because of the cruel bits they use. You don't need a shank that long to get a horse to do something. Even with out padding its still not good for them. Their hocks are a mess and the saddles they use sit on the weakest part of the horses back.
I don't really think this is very beautiful, I don't like the way padded horse look when they move. It is too exaggerated and over done for me. I won't get pulled into a debate about padding because there is a difference between soring and padding, and while I don't like padding, I don't think they are all mistreated. but I really don't think this is beautiful. Sorry
No need to be polite with those people PiperLover, they are only animal ABUSERS and they dont give a shit about those poor horses, all they care is how they look.. and for us they look ridiculous and stupid ...
