  • The graphic Slow Motion Video shows the "BIG LICK" gait with EIGHT POUND SHOES and CHAINS hitting sensitive skin above horse's front hooves.
    This is the 15.2 And Under Amateur Class at the Western NC AG Center in Ashville, NC on Oct. 5, 2018.
    Native Tennessean MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University) Horse Science Professor Equine Vet Dr. John Haffner says: "the “Big Lick” is a business built on the suffering and pain of horses. The fact is the big lick can only be accomplished by soring. When one soring technique becomes detectable, another one is developed. The big lick is a learned response to pain and if horses have not been sored, they do not learn it.”

      They are ruining their legs. These horses do not have a future of living out in pasture to a ripe old age. They will not be able to support their own weight and will be put down.
      I think the owners should be put down the very next day.

    Big Lickers who defend Big Lick remind me of abusive parents before the Child Endangerment Act: "he fell down the stairs, she ran into a door, if you had kids you'd know how clumsy they are." It doesn't take a horse expert to see fear and pain in an animal. This behavior is the very reason we need laws to protect those who are weaker, children, animals, from people who see no wrong in their cruelty. Please let your state representatives know that you support PAST, Prevent All Soring Techniques.

    Do you see the chains around their fetlocks? That's called soring. Why, because it's rubbing on very tender skin and it rubs them raw so they pick their foot up in an abnormal way because it hurts. It's cruelty at it's worst. If you see this in person, call Animal Cruelty and report it. Take your cell phones out and film it. Yell at them and disrupt the show. I stopped one by doing that. Save these horses.

I heard they was going to creak down on this year's ago. I've been around horses all my life and been to horse show and never understood what was so appealing about that padded class. That destroys a horse.

    My moms friend has a ex big lick horse.
    He gad horrific looking hooves,he was skinny as all heck,
    He had fear in his eyes everytime she even approached him,you couldn’t imagine how he was to hoof touch or farriers.
    It took a year,maybe more,to get him to even trust and appreciate touch and hoof care.
    It took a year,also maybe more,to get him back to lunging with saddles and bridles. She did this in 2020
    He is now a whopping 9 years old,loves to do jumping,loved pats,treats
    He’s extremely affectionate to touch and is chill with farriers.
    It took 3-4 years for him to get here,all because some stupid people did big lick on him for 1-2 years.
    I hate big lick because of this horse.
    I hated it before,and hate it even more.

    these are the saddest parts about being an equestrian . understanding that not all of us are good and some of us treat our horses like they don’t have rights or that they’re just machines that can work 24 seven and horses don’t function like that. I think that every horse just needs plenty of love and care.❤

Even owning them is a privilege. You need a proper home for them if thats in a barn/stable or a felid or something. You need to feed and water them you need to brush them. Take proper care of them. people that do big lick idk how you have the heart to do that. TREAT YOUR HORSES WITH RESPECT PLEASE 🙏🏻.

    I heard that sometimes they put chemicals like gasoline on the horses hooves

    I wrote this comment somewhere else but this is called big lick it is when you put blocks of wood on your horse and the block has nails in it and sometimes glass and it hurts the horse and makes it walk pretty (even tho I think the walk is ugly)

    That horses leg is like a twig. How can anybody willingly do this to a living creature. 💔 It is truly disgusting

    This is horrible my heart goes out to any and every horse that goes through this.❤
    I don’t even see the appeal of this discipline the way that it makes the horses walk is not pretty or even remotely cute.
    This really should be banned
