@linda yea I feel so bad for so many horses. I don’t necessarily thinks it’s bad to desensitize them and start them young for some things, but I completely disagree with riding and training these young horses so hard that they end up severely injured. I don’t like that two and three yr olds r raced so young and their bones aren’t even fully developed. Big Lick is an absolute disgrace, and I can’t even imagine how some people think it’s okay or that it looks pretty with the horses goose stepping. Poor innocent babies, they don’t deserve this.
this is to open up the possiblity of harassing regular horse owners to get them riled up. to get complaints against it and possibly getting the law revoked perhaps?
No, they do not think fly spraying your horse is abuse, they know full well what the new laws would be but they are twisting things trying to make others confused, trying to make others think this, to try to stop the laws to stop the big lick from happening.
I don't understand why do this. Why can't the breed be shown as they are? Already a beautiful horse, some have a natural gait and sould be shown naturally. ❤
i got my chance to inform a person that misinformed about Tennessee walking horses. Gravely misinformed. I directed them towards horse plus humane Society and said watch the videos on Tennessee walking horses and the big lick. I asked them specifically to watch anything on the big lick that was on your channel. That person came back to me about a month later Informing me that I was wrong, in my beliefs at the big lick should be abolished. I asked the person politely if they watched any of the videos their answer ticked me off. Their answer was i don't have the time to watch a bunch of stupid videos. I politely informed them that we can no longer be friends. And have not spoken to that person since.
I'm sorry that happened to you. I've had to walk away from friends and family members like this. They're sociopaths. Zero empathy, all ego or only in it for money. Either way, they're toxic and I had to cut them out of my life. It still hurts, but I realize I'm grieving for who I THOUGHT they were, not who they REALLY are.
Absolutely disgusting, how can people put these beautiful horses through such pain. I have always been against this cruelty but I had no idea how far they went with the pain, thank you for for explaining this on your video, love everything you do for horses good luck in everything you do... Love from the England UK...
Egos, a lady up the street who died a few years back was a strong lover of showing her tenn walkers she never used abusive tactics she had alot of beautiful pictures of her horses on the wall. we became pretty good friends. she also bought two beautiful belgian drafts as pets and when she died her son took full control of their care. eventually due to age he had to rehome those horses.
@@rosesmith6208 Absolutely, there are very kind and ethical TWH owners who do not abuse their horses, who show without abusive tactics. Unfortunately, there are way too many unethical and cruel show stables, for whom nothing is off limits in order to win.
Honestly, it’s not only desperate it’s also insultant to real horse people and horse lovers out there that they dare to compare items for every day use and grooming to the horrible things they use for their horses. Stay strong and keep fighting! 🙏🏻
I was on their thread. It is profit-makers promoting Abuse For Dollars and claiming it isn't abuse. Disgusting, but they have $$$$ so what will happen? We knew when 'won' and got the legislation passed that there was a possibility of this.
The fact that horses have thinner skin than humans means that we cannot fully understand what we expose them to. Interesting: The horse is the only animal that it is still legal to whip...
Thanks for all you do ❤ let's also stop the slaughter transport to other countries .. this too is unforgivable abuse .. let us know how more we can help ❤
Thank you for explaining more about this document. I saw it posted on a horse forum. It was certainly concerning to read when taken out of context. End big lick!!!
All one has to do is watch big lick one time to see that it's nothing more than cruel and unusual punishment for the horses. Good grief, I can't stand politics when it hurts more than it helps. Sheesh! I'm so thankful for Tawnee and Jason. I wish I could do alot more to help than I'm able at this point in time. Prayers work for a fact, and that's one thing I do to help with this madness.
Keep fighting the fight guys. I’ve observed your thoughts and actions about Big Lick from afar for a while now. The way they treat horses is atrocious. 😢
My suggestion in the very beginning of this was to contact legislative members that had owned or showed horses to be better involved and knowledgeable. Just contacting "normal" Senators and Representatives probably won't accomplish much. Those people could care less, regardless of their lip service.
Thank you so much Jason and Tawnee for lobbying for the revised version of the Horse Protecton Act Washington D.C.!!! I can't believe we are so close to this going into effect!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I will write several senators too on this topic..And others in the white house administation..ive learned so much from yall since 2021..And i cry every time i see the big lick.. I will definitely put a paper together and send it to the senetors in the white house i believe will want to help
They are wonderful horses with super nice gaits and personalities. The problem is the show world. In addition to the abuse, it is causing severe breed deformities by breeding only for high action without concerns about any other weaknesses.
Horse Plus is over the target about this atrocious event, hence, the convoluted language obfuscating the real issue: horse abuse. Bullies never tire, it seems, until their b.s. is put out in public for the locals and world to see. Bullies must be exposed in public! Keep at it Horse Plus. One day there will be no more Big Lick or abuse of these magnificent animals.
I appreciate the update on the USDA ruling and big money backlash. The ruling is encouraging, the response is expected. I would like to suggest that you either refrain from using only the words "ridiculous" or "outrageous" without adding something like "lies" or "purposeful misinformation" or just not use them. It is way too easy for the other side to use the same words to twist those words to their point of view to describe the ruling. I've seen it first hand (though not specifically about the big lick) two people on opposite sides both saying "this is ridiculous" where one means the original facts relayed and twisted by lies and the other means the lies/misinformation of the response. Keep up the good work! Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for staying on this Big Lick abuse issue. I’m wondering if there are other gated horse breeds that are a part of this type of abuse, or just Tennessee Walkers?
OMG I remember David Duquette. What a psychopath, but the Lickers love to pay people like him to try to keep soring alive. I read the Walking Horse Report blog post about this, and it had a list of who the TWH Industry is trying to protect: breeders, riders, owners, show directors, judges, blah blah blah... not ONCE did they say they were trying to protect the horse. This new release is the same tactics they're always used, and it hasn't worked. The entire horse industry now knows soring still goes on, and they ignore these abusers. The best part is everyone is onto them, but the USDA better not back down like they've done so many times in the past.
Anxiously counting down the days to February 1st, hoping this ruling really does go through. I can't risk celebrating even a second sooner. I read through the whole final ruling and Western Justice is 100% fear mongering. While their fear mongering techniques scared me at first for the safety of the HPA final ruling, the language by the USDA in response to comments/concerns makes me really think they are done with the back and forth and this ruling really is FINAL
Never understood this stupidity Why anybody would do that to horses They are crippled,cant run have to stay in a stall cant go in pasture and this is not training We had horses in “ training “ at the beginning went to visit to observe on several occasions Never seen anything like it Whoever started this mess and made an industry out of it, horses with a natural gate all messed up ??? It has to stop
How is it possible that any country can allow this, if it had happened here in Sweden, the person who abuses his horse in that way would have been imprisoned and hated by everyone.
Needs to stop. I have a 22 year old TWH that was pushed too hard too fast when he was too young. He ended up tearing his back suspensory tendons. And you can tell from the way he moves and stands that he was a big lick shoe horse. I bought him when he was 10 and he only wears shoes 6-8 months a year.
No smart Cowboy orCowgirl would ever agree to any of this BS. If these people think that a loving horse person would ever worry about what these people are spewing than they’re living in a fantasy. Keep up the great work you’re dong to help all the horses. February 1 can’t come fast enough. ❤️🐴🤗👍
Coming from the outside looking in, from a country that isn't so overtly patriotic, the whole "protect the American way of life" cry that always goes out from group like this is so weird and gross. Not only is it dishonest and redirecting attention, but it also dares to assume that everyone in the country aspires to the same lifestyle and personal goals. Anyway, can't wait (sarcasm) to argue with people who think fly spray isn't allowed at horse show anymore...
I hope Feb 01 is a landmark The abuse of walking Horses has gone on far too long How anyone could be promoting the slaughter of animals to hide their abuse is No words for that!
How has this ever been condoned? I cannot believe that anyone with a brain or a least a heart could do such a despicable thing to any living thing especially just for show.
What they are fighting to keep abusing them so theremaking white noise to distract wow disgusting individuals and desperate to keep there abuse they need jailing
I'm older now, but remember hearing my dad tell me how cruel those horses were treated and that was a looooonnnngggg time ago! I met a guy who was to take care of some tree issues my parents were having. He had dog that he highly respected his opinion. If the dog didn't like someone, then he wouldn't have much to do with those seemingly nice people. He respected the animals and their intuition. Same with horses. Personally, in my experience, if someone treats an animal of any sort poorly, intentionally, they will do the same to people and worse. Duquette (it's hard not to call him a name) showed his true colors in attacking Clint C. A younger man, a cowboy wanna be, he can dress the part but that doesn't make him one. I have yet to see a real cowboy saddle up a Tennessee Walker to herd cattle, rodeo or other western horse events! Too bad we can't just apply some of that permanent soring to his feet and see how well he handles it. Not much impressed with such a "man". A real man has a heart for people, especially the elderly and Clint obvoiusly had some years on this punk. What an exaggerated, unrealistic lack of mind Du(kaka)quette has. He doesn't qualify as a man but as a spoiled uneducated idiot in my book. He needs to be taken to slaughter and put out of our misery. Sorry, no sympathy for his kind. I'm sorry if this is too strong.
Just be aware, you are challenging people with $$$invested. They don’t care about the horses, they care about $$$. Just wait, in the next few years you are going to a heavy duty fight.
Who in their right mind thinks that bringing pain to an animal causing the horse to "look high stepping " is an acceptable practice? No one. It is horrendously painful and torturing horses. Ugh.
You guys should really try to contact fil director Eric Goode (Tiger King, Chimp Crazy) to make a film about the big lick, slaughter pipe, etc. I think he would make a great movie that might move the needle with public opinion.
yes it is their income unreal what these people do - I would have sued that bastard that took a act of villance to him and the only place that these people get hurt is in there pockets
It’s exactly what it is. They thrive and enjoy torturing and abusing. They launder and protect their money within themselves and defend each other with government corrupted positions
Keep the pressure on. They are scared and grasping at straws at this point. If there weren't old money families involved who can't stand being told 'no' this would have been gone years ago. The more the information gets out there, the more the ones doing it will realize it makes them look bad and that's what will end Big Lick. To them, the horses don't matter nearly as much as the opinion of their peers. Make it seem as low class and cruel as dog fighting and it'll stop or at least not be allowed in public venues.
Keep up the good work. Your win will mean a great deal to thousands of horses. Here in SA, we have the American Saddlebred horses that are abused just like the Big Lick Horses.
Sounds like they have learned from politics in general in the US. The lies the politicians are spreading is ridiculous, but as they do it all the time, people listen to it, and believe it. So unfortunately, a lot of people will believe these lies as well.
I know you are all so very busy with horse rescue, but have you ever considered running a horse vid con? Something that would bring all horse influencers on u tube together to share information like this so they can share to their watchers. It would mean people like Raleigh, Free spirit EQ, people with large followings, not afraid to speak out who have these facts at hand to pass to their followers. It works for law tube and crime tube etc. Maybe a video conference to start. It's a thought for the future at least.
Oh Wow, I approached watching this video on More than 3 “Try’s”. Finally dove in,-- Knowing it would hurt (a Lot). Now,-- I have to go BACK through it even More times to get the correct information and contacts to SHARE. Feel Nauseous. Love To You All There. So Incredibly Proud of Tawnee & Jason, -- the Literal Cornerstone of this Solid Foundation,-- and the Building that will Continue to grow Upwards and Outwards from it. I’ve been in the trenches with rescue, both Animal and the occasional human. I feel honored to have watched this organization Grow, and THRIVE because of some necessary “Business” decisions (And Tawnee’s Brain), that Had to Be made to Ensure that this Foundation remains safe, healthy, growing, and in accordance with all the bells and whistles that the IRS and whatnot that tangle the Basic Pure HEART and commitment it takes to make a True Impact ,-- and LASTING CHANGE. Superstars of the Galaxy here for sure. The various and Multitude of ways that Jason supports this whole ideal is Phenomenal. Thank You Jason Regular Renaissance Man with your multiple skill set. Tawnee,-- well, You know. I hope I’ve told you often enough. . . My heart and my Respect for your vision, and every day of your hard work that Drove This to happen. XOXO’s , Caroline & Pi (the dog). Much Love.
The first episode I ever watched you had rescued a horse that still had stacks on it and I couldn’t believe my eyes! I was so horrified. It is one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever encountered and one of the cruelest in the world for the purpose of ‘entertainment’. It’s up there with bull fighting. Both should have been completely outlawed years ago. Thank you for al that you do and have done to stop this awful practice!
To the rest of the world this is pathetic, the horrific abuse of horses and it's allowed in the USA !!.
The big lick is horrible abuse.
Can't believe they are also riding 2 year old babies to start them 😢 ABSOLUTE CRUELTY

Beyond horrible!
So they think fly spraying my horse will be abuse? Do they think we’re as stupid as they are? Big Lick must be sooo….desperate!
this is to open up the possiblity of harassing regular horse owners to get them riled up. to get complaints against it and possibly getting the law revoked perhaps?

@ Read my comment again. I fully understand what David Duquette and his ilk are doing.
@@rosesmith6208 Of course.
Stop Big Lick!
My whole adult life I’ve been waiting for this to be outlawed and I’m 71
Hopefully it will stop we can only wish….. bre
We're so glad that you got the ACT to stick and will keep fighting against the Big lick we will stand behind you 100%
Keep up the fight and protect the horses!
STOP BIG LICK!

I suffer from neuralgia, and having a shower can be very painful for my feet. I did a video on my channel about big lick
Stop big lick!!
I hope Feb 01 is a landmark
The abuse of walking Horses has gone on far too long
How anyone could be promoting the slaughter of animals to hide their abuse is
No words for that!
How has this ever been condoned? I cannot believe that anyone with a brain or a least a heart could do such a despicable thing to any living thing especially just for show.
What they are fighting to keep abusing them so theremaking white noise to distract wow disgusting individuals and desperate to keep there abuse they need jailing

Though I live in Idaho I shared this.
Thank you for everything you do ❤❤❤
I’d love to see the actual legislation, read it for myself and make my own decision
Great video guys
Keep fighting the good fight! West and Big lick have nothing in common. Imagine trying to work cattle with a big lick horse!
The Tennesse walking horse has no other purpose than walking in this very unnatural way. That has nothing to do with the American lifestyle!
Thank you for this informal video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very sick people this is animal cruelty for sure.😞😞😞🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞❤️❤️❤️🐎🐎🐎🐎

People need to be forced to maintain their animals properly!
It’s exactly what it is. They thrive and enjoy torturing and abusing. They launder and protect their money within themselves and defend each other with government corrupted positions

I remember when they finally had to stop breaking Saddlebred tails, I don’t remember a lot about it and it was in the 70’s, so things can change!🙏🏻
Big Lick needs to be shut down!
I hate when the pass a new law that they make it effective so far in the future. Why not immediately!!!!
It's just a revised version and it goes into effect Feb 1 of this year. 👍🏼
Keep up the good work. Your win will mean a great deal to thousands of horses. Here in SA, we have the American Saddlebred horses that are abused just like the Big Lick Horses.
Please, please stop big lick, please it is destroying horses for life😢
Money talks and BS walks !!
They need to stop cuz some horses have to be put down and I know watching you guys it's snowing and telling me that it needs to stop
#BanBigLick #StopHorseAbuse
Sounds like they have learned from politics in general in the US. The lies the politicians are spreading is ridiculous, but as they do it all the time, people listen to it, and believe it. So unfortunately, a lot of people will believe these lies as well.
I wonder if a collaboration with Homestead Horsemanship would help with protesting this vile practice !?
How anyone can justify "Big Lick" is beyond me 💔 God bless our beautiful horses!
What about the judge's? Is it so that this is what the judges want!
If you're putting equipment on that's so badly fitted it's causing pain and soreness, that is also cruelty.
I know you are all so very busy with horse rescue, but have you ever considered running a horse vid con?

It works for law tube and crime tube etc. Maybe a video conference to start. It's a thought for the future at least.
This is pure evil abuse there sick nasty monsters
You guys need to read this new ruling. In the Question and answer section it specifically mentions fly spray.
Oh Wow,
I approached watching this video on More than 3 “Try’s”.
Finally dove in,-- Knowing it would hurt (a Lot).
Now,-- I have to go BACK through it even More times to get the correct information and contacts to SHARE.
Feel Nauseous. Love To You All There.
So Incredibly Proud of Tawnee & Jason, -- the Literal Cornerstone of this Solid Foundation,-- and the Building that will Continue to grow Upwards and Outwards from it.
I’ve been in the trenches with rescue, both Animal and the occasional human.
I feel honored to have watched this organization Grow, and THRIVE because of some necessary “Business” decisions (And Tawnee’s Brain), that Had to Be made to Ensure that this Foundation remains safe, healthy, growing, and in accordance with all the bells and whistles that the IRS and whatnot that tangle the Basic Pure HEART and commitment it takes to make a True Impact ,-- and LASTING CHANGE.
Superstars of the Galaxy here for sure.
The various and Multitude of ways that Jason supports this whole ideal is Phenomenal.
Thank You Jason
Regular Renaissance Man with your multiple skill set.
Tawnee,-- well, You know.
I hope I’ve told you often enough. . .
My heart and my Respect for your vision, and every day of your hard work that Drove This to happen.
XOXO’s , Caroline & Pi
(the dog).
Much Love.
The first episode I ever watched you had rescued a horse that still had stacks on it and I couldn’t believe my eyes!
I was so horrified. It is one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever encountered and one of the cruelest in the world for the purpose of ‘entertainment’. It’s up there with bull fighting. Both should have been completely outlawed years ago. Thank you for al that you do and have done to stop this awful practice!
Hi Tony and Jason I think this is ridiculous
Disgusting behaviour in that video. What a weak person.
How can I share this video? Is there anything else I can do to lobby or put the truth out??
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
You guys are doing a great job on saving the animals and the big lick needs to be stop it is Wong to do this to horse Nanette
