Broken at 3, Big Lick Industry Destroys Horses

- The Big Lick industry destroys horses bodies and it destroys horses lives. When a horse is too broken or scarred, the are dumped into the slaughter pipeline. Serenity was rescued Jan 28, 2025, a victim of the Big Lick Industry. May she rest in peace, and her story never forgotten.
Wtf. How is this legal. Any normal person can see this is abuse at its finest. Omg. Love what you do. Greetings from the Netherlands
Lest you think Americans somehow condone this or turn a blind eye, the Horse Protection Act, passed in 1970, was put in place to stop the practice of "soring" in gaited horses. But it was hard to enforce due to lack of trained staff and funding (capped at $500K annually, which isn't much) and easy to grease the palms of poorly paid USDA inspectors, many of whom were locals and already a part of the "good ole boy" network that was heavily involved in Big Lick cheating and abuse. Inspections were also somewhat cursory and subjective at best, and therefore easily disputed. Now, however, there is technology to detect soring chemicals and ringside thermography to disqualify horses with elevated temperatures in their pasterns. Further, the USDA seems to be taking more action and updates have been made to the HPA to take effect this year that will increase the presence of (hopefully) impartial USDA-trained inspectors at more horse shows in the future.

Yes, just seen this and never heard of it before, I'm in the UK. I can't believe they'd do this, it's awful.
I made my comment after around two minutes in, just seen more, now in tears, can't watch it. Some people are just plain evil.
ANIMAL CRUELTY PERSOSNIFEID CHAINS, HIGH STACKED SHOES, CHEMICALS ON THEIR ANKLES TO MAKE THEM SORE SO THEY PICK UP THEIR FEET - IMAGINE HAVING TO LAY DOWN AND GET UP, WALK, TROT AND RUN IN THESE - YOU CANNOT LOOK AWAY AND ANYONE IN POWER THAT CAN END DIT AND EOES NOT - IS A CRUEL PERSON. IMO.
It is illegal but the judges and vets are all paid off to ignore the abuse.
the people in this industry are NOT ignorant, they know what they are doing and they disgust me. the horses deserve so much better so thank you for what you are doing
Well said! Absolutely true. May they someday understand the full truth and horror of what they have done!!!
Unbelieveble that a farrier will shoe these horses because he knows it is animal abuse. I am a farrier in the Netherlands, but i would never ever shoe horses who get abused like these horses,. In the Netherlands this will not happen, the people on the horses will get kicked of there horses.
AGREED. These horses bring profit to their pockets, and humans repay them with inhumane treatment. It's this way for so many animals and it's appalling.
Yes!!!
@DARKGLAMLAB
Terrible!!!
I thought this abomination WAS banned. WTF is wrong with these abusive people? How do they sleep at night? Where are the authorities? Sick af.
where is animal welfare PETA
@@angelaschmalzbauer PETA destroys more animals than it helps. Even healthy ones. The founder has stated multiple times she belives animals are better off dead than as pets. Please support real animal welfare groups not PETA
@@angelaschmalzbauer There's a difference between an animal welfare group and an animal RIGHTS group. PETA is for animal rights
Big lick has been banned for 50 years lol.
@@mentallyinsane445poeple still do it regardless if it’s banned.
This is disgusting. Thank you so much for working against this horrible abuse
Such animal abuse!!! Should be BANNED!
That horse's movement. I don't see how they can come back from that damage, even with rest, good veterinary care and physical therapy. Rest in peace, sweet girl.
@cynhanrahan4012 I see the damage but I can't put my finger on it... What is it that she has? Looks like a very severe ataxia horse but pls tell me...
RIP sweetie
@@MoniekRedhead Looks like the bones grew wrong (asymmetrical growth) due to growth plate damage to me, but that's just an educated guess. Could also be neurologic damage if they screwed up her spine. Torn/damaged/snapped ligaments could also do it, depending on which ones. Quite a bit could, none of it good, so a bit hard to tell without seeing ultrasound or x-rays.
@@MoniekRedheadI suspect Horse Plus will go over it in another video, they always document the veterinary evaluations well. I’m behind on their videos, it’s probably already out.
That poor mare had been through hell for her short life. This is sick and disgusting! Rest in peace❤
Exactly. Tormented on her front hooves. She must put unnatural weight on her pelvis and back legs. Then add a too often fat- obese rider sitting near the rear. The physics says it all. I like to think of these riders put into high heels and made to carry the same weight by proportion. Must be something psychologically wrong with them- even though they are ‘educated’ lawyers etc.
Thats not even a mare... thats a filly... its horrible
the officials Could do something SEN.Marsha Blackburn does NOTHING---she apparently does not like animals and horses?
@magicdolphin3090 its disgusting horrific cruel animal abuse 😮😡
Sad...just a baby.
I have a retired big lick horse. He tore his rear suspensory tendons between 2-3 years of age. When I bought I knew he already had DLSD in his rear legs. He was 10. I’ve had him for 12 years now. He’s starting to slow down but we are still effectively managing his legs and he has minimal arthritis but he will always need a little extra. And that’s ok. Weaver may not have ever been in a show ring but I still consider him a big lick survivor. He’s 22 now and only used for trails. With the exception of a few of equestrian shows he will never step into another show ring. He lives in a 22 acre pasture and is partially retired. The damage is still evident but he’s comfortable and happy and that’s what matters.
Thank you for taking such good care of him! I’m sure he knows love from you. ❤
Thank you! You are a very caring person.
Aren't TWH's wonderful? I had a royal-bred big lick survivor as a teenager that was my best friend through some tough times. Took two years for him to heal mentally and physically (his poor feet), but he tried his best every day. Thank you for your commitment to the extra care that many of these abused horses need to get a second chance at a normal life - they are so worth it!
@@windyfoster3038 yes. Weaver is Pusher/Pride generator bred. I’ve learned so much from him. He’s was my first gaited horse. I’d been riding for years with Arabians and QHs. After being out of horses for a couple of years I was introduced to gaited horses. I rode my friends horses for a few years before i found Weaver. He taught me how to ride him and I got my confidence and balance back. He’s been there for me during all my ups and downs including a major health crisis. I know have another TWH that is actually bred the same way he is. She’s just considerably younger. But they share 5 of the same sires including Pusher and Generator. They are virtually identical and Lily is just as solid as he is.
God bless you ❤
We were protesting this in 1970!
How can anyone watching these shows not see how cruel this is?
How can anybody say, the Big Lick doesn't destroy horses? Those people are blind and without any empathy for any animal. Thankfully I live in germany and meet never one of those devils of that industry... I would not know what I would do.....
Hello to you from the Eifel. It's about time America has their laws changed to stop all the abuse. I am also so glad we don't have to witness this kind of abuse here in Germany but it's heartbreaking and devastating to watch what goes on in America 😢
. Hallo bin in Cochem geboren und wohne in Kalifornien
@@connyortiz7151 Cochem ist fast um die Ecke von mir. Ich wohne in Weibern, nähe Wehr und Mendig. Ich hoffe du fühlst dich da wohl 😊
Her whole body is shattered and doesn't even hold itself together. This is SHAMEFUL. SHAME ON THE USA for allowing this to exist in this day and age!!! Do better, BE better. I'm appalled and absolutely shocked, heartbroken.. please, never give up until this is banned.
the US being known as freedom and the best is so disgustingly wrong. maybe by the standards of when it was created. in modern day its absolutely awful for how big and important it is.
Ive never understood why anyone would want their horses to move so ridiculously unnatural. Watching this is horrifying.
It looks so unnatural it's disturbing in the way a crabwalking twisted around ghost is in a horror movie
Yes, that's always confused me. It doesn't look elegant or attractive at all.
The Big Lick owners should have to endure everything they put their animals through. For every year they have had horses in competition they should have to follow the same process that they used on the animals they competed with
This needs to stop! So glad you are online telling truth.
they're FINALLY making chains and stacks illegal this year?!?!?? It's too late for soo many horses but FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY
I hope she's sprinting through the most lushest fields in heaven with scores of other horses that've found peace thanks to your kindness h💖
As a dressage rider this sickens me. Our goal as dressage riders is to help the horse's soundness and extend it's time under saddle, happy and healthy, and our art is about showcasing the natural beauty of horses' wild behavior. The big lick is the furthest away from classical principles you can get. It is the polar opposite of what General Decarpentry wrote in his definitive compilation of dressage techniques from the classical schools in the 1930-40s, that the goal of dressage should be that the horse looks like it isn't carrying a rider at all.
This absolutely breaks my heart for these horses. Big Lick needs stopped.
The state & government have failed these horses & also the owners! Despicable behavior that needs to end now. Horse abuse is horrid!
Any animal abuse is horrid.
I tell you something else the government and people push that is worse than abuse harming children and their mother's womb that's real abuse
Look at the height of those shoes. Thank you Jason and Tawnee for fighting so hard and for so long to stop this. RIP, sweet girl.
Big lick makes me so furious and so sad😢😭
I just can't comprehend how the big lick people reason🤬🤬🤬
MONEY 👀😤. It's all about the money ! They don't care how that beautiful creation is hurting/suffering as long as it's make's them money and if it stops making them money because they completely damaged it's body😱😭 then they throw it away like a old tire with no tread left and holes in it , it cant be fixed so it's trash! Makes me sick to my stomach. 🙏God will see fit on what they deserve when they kneel before him... they can't live forever everyone will be judged !
This world is ruled by Satan. Horses, too😢
It breaks my heart to watch what these people are doing to these beautiful horses. It has to stop 😢
Never heard about this until now, ty for covering. Reminds me of MAID Drs in Canada often also w an abortion practice, some people are wired wrong taking pleasure in another's pain and death. Make Asylums Great Again. RIP all the beautiful horses....
Well money and "tradition". They grew up with it, same as hunting, so it's normal and they have no negative emotions attached to it
When a 3 yr old filly has to be given the Last Act of Kindness, due to going thru the abuse that she has been thru, it really upsets me. No animal should ever have to be whipped , wear stacks, chains or have chemicals dumped on any part of their body. And all cos of a stupid show event . Big Lick needs shut down and banned permanently. If the people that put on these shows had to endure what they force their horses to go thru , maybe they would think a lot differently. And as for loving them , if you live ur horses so much , never dump them off at an auction, where kill buyers , so greedily stand there saying YUP . They want ur horse so they can biy it for horse meat , that's just soxk and wrong in so many ways . A true horse lover would never ever say I love my horse and then be cruel to it and then dump that horse off at an auction. Rest in peace to all of these beautiful horses that didn't make it, but now they cam run thru green pastures forever without pain or suffering forever and ever .
But its ok that humans have to work in order to have a home and food and health care? They have to wear uncomfortable clothing, work sick, etc. Horses have it good comparatively.
@ashleymorgan-kp7um , a human is a whole lot different than a horse is. We have 2 legs and a horse has 4 . A horse was created to be used to HELP us with what need and NOT be abused. If a person chooses to work when they are sick , and they choose to wear super high heels etc that is on them . Where - as a horse doesn't have this choice, it's not their fault that humans choose to abuse them by harming them with chemicals, whips and then using chains and stacks and making them wear those awful gag bits in their mouths. A human doesn't have to go thru that horses do. Big Lick needs banned 🚫 🚫🚫 permanently
Thank you for publicizing this normalized cruelty. Poor horses.
Please please please EVERYBODY SHARE ! This cannot go on anymore.
Thank you for this. A pushback with recent footage is SO very needed. Big Lick was never banned, only rebranded so the abuse could continue. NOBODY with a brain is fooled by ‘padded performance’.
I hope this poor little mare becomes famous. Thank you for giving her a soft landing. At least she had that.
Do the people who do this think it looks good? Do they see some sort of beauty in it? I am in the UK and I had never heard of this until I watched HorsePlus, there is something seriously wrong with anyone who sees these horses and thinks it's a good look to do this, utterly demented. There have been discussions here about culture, and whether all cultures are equal, well they flippin' well are not, I sure as hell would not want to belong to any culture that promotes this. Thank you to the all the people who put these horses out of pain, it is a gift to be able to do so, well done for doing it time after time and facing it head on. I am less distressed, (actually I get more furious than distressed....) by seeing a dead horse than I am by seeing the state this utterly horrible practice leaves horses in, it is truly evil. And what the heck is going to happen to all the die hard Big Lick supporters if they stop doing it? Their heads won't fall off, the world won't end, they will carry on living, unlike the poor horses.
Thank you for what you're doing ❤
RALEIGH!!!!
Awesome to see you in this comment section! I've learned so much from watching your channel and the only reason I'm currently subscribed to Horse Plus is because you spread awareness to how rampart horse abuse really is in the US.
INHUMANE!!!
I watched to support you and the horses.😢
Stacks and chains is only the beginning.
Thank you for work.
Ihr homosapien ich glau amerika ist noch zu wenig für euch verbrecher es müssen noch größere Katastrophen kommen
We have owned four TWH, some of the most agreeable
loving horses ever. THis breaks my heart.
It is heartbreaking to see these beautiful horses used, abused and then discarded like trash. This cruel practice needs stamping out. I have 3 horses and they are all treated with respect, loved beyond belief and given the best of everything. I am imploring all Americans to rise up an PLEASE do whatever it takes to stop this cruelty.
I don't ride or own horses, but even I can see the fatsos as riders is not ok at all. They even sit on them like fucken dead weight sacks of potatoes. The super uncaring expressions on their faces says it all as well. Imagine you wear super high heels and you have to scoop a giant man and run around with him. And thats not even close to what the horses go thru.
Your metaphor of running in high heels with a fat guy on your back is spot on. The rule of thumb for FULLY GROWN ADULT horses with no injuries or impedances (pad stacks, poor hoof and pastern angles, weight behind the 18th thoracic vertebra) is to carry no more than 20% of their ideal body weight total, both rider and tack. For that little girl, that would be around 175-195 lbs. at age five or six, when her skeleton is fully formed. Unbelievably tragic and rage-inducing that she was ground down and discarded like trash as a baby by greedy people who fanatically defend cruelty as a cultural right. Some (OK, plenty) of those big lick trainers are well north of 300 lbs. and can't ride to save their lives.
@@windyfoster3038 I think they do this on purpose, to weigh down on the hindquarters and "lift up" ths shoulders neck and head
It's really precious non-equestrians realise and spread the word!
@@windyfoster3038i agree that you are absolutely right ✅️
@@windyfoster3038 that is 100% spot on summing up of the most abhorrent cruelty to horses.
So important to make people aware what is happening and to continue to be an advocate for horse well being. So sad for this young mare. Hearing Dr. Lydia say „I am sorry“ to her had me tearing up again 🥺
Thank you for this educational post...........OMG, In the UK I don't think many of the population are aware of Whatever big Lick is supposed to be, it looks Obscene , it's disgustingly cruel to horses. It should be outlawed. Thank god we don't have it over here in the UK. We are not perfect, anyhow. I know due to the broken leg(s) this poor horse who has been abused, in it's young life, cannot be saved, i CRY FOR THESE HORSES. 😢😢😭😭Poor baby is now in heaven pain free.❤❤.
Thank you! This is so awful!
GOD bless you for caring for these and other horses and bringing the public's attention to these horrific animal abuse that is going on. Time to lobby politicians and lawmakers to protect these and other animals by applying the existing laws and creating more and better laws for animal protection. Keep fighting the good fight what you do matters to so many!!!
It's crazy, Horses will do most for you and people will abuse that trust and willingness. I started my filly for riding at 4.5 to 5 years old. It did her a world of good to wait.
Thank you for saving her from that horrendous trip to Mexico. So sad as she's so young, her life had just started.
Humans are a disgrace. These horses deserve to be free. That's absolutely horrific!
2:08 I think it would be more honest to say “she was saved from slaughter and due to her injuries was immediately given the last act of kindness”. 😢
Yes, saved means something else to me.....sorry, poor girl.
I was waiting for some kind of rehabilitation journey or something only for them to dodge saying she was euthanised 😢
I also can’t help but wondering if this just prolonged her suffering a bit longer than the original route.
‘Saved’ definitely means something else to me too
Thank you for making people aware of this. It's horrific. This cruelty must be stopped
So greatful you are exposing this!!! As hard as it is to see we have a responsibility to be good stewards.
This is so disturbing , how can anyone treat an animal with such cruelty 😢 Thank for saving them❤
Of all of the horses we've owned, our two TWH's are the most loving, kind, smart, willing, trustworthy, sensible, funny, and fun horses ever!!! The tears were flowing through this video and they still are. There's one word to describe this horrific abuse...evil. Bless you for your loving kindness to these precious horses and your fearlessness in helping to put an end to this despicable industry. Psalm 94:1-2 says, "O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud."
Oh my 😥. Thank goodness Serenity had her last hours with Horse Plus. Thank you Horse Plus for looking out for these beautiful horses and letting them go in peace. It must be so heart breaking for you and your staff. The continuum of humans wickedness to goodness is measured in this incidence between Big Lick and Horse Plus. Oh my😥
😢 She was just a baby.
This is horse abuse and PLEASE banned this!!
People have been trying to get that to stop for years now. Many horses have lived and died from the atrocities. Fifty years or more to get it stopped and possibly a murder mystery about the horses and more. INITIALS DD. INVESTIGATORS IN AND OUT OF THE STORY. Take every horse from them. Some are so stinking rich and are excellent at covering the brutal harm. Famous as a murder or more over these horses. Thousands and thousands of dollars for horses elitests, jealousy, money, threats over ribbons and trophies. This is NO secret. Those of us who are older tried ages, years to get it stopped..
They have. From 1st February.
Shocking cruelty 😡😮
Let the judge know how you feel about this horrible ruling.
Very sorry and angry to see everyone involved in this rescue has to regularly faces the experiences and consequences of the situations of these horses. Thank you for all you do to render help, comfort and kindness to the suffering animals. Your work is surely appreciated and many blessings to you all.
❤❤❤❤
I am British. I had no idea about this disgraceful “industry “. Thank you for your compassion.
Soooo very wrong complete abuse. They need to be shut down and held accountable.
Thank you for giving them the love they deserved 😢❤
Past owner and show-er of Tennessee Walking horses. I would NEVER show a horse in chains and pads! Our horses are barefoot and naturally gained and wonderful animals.
This is sick! I'm glad your fighting fir these beautiful creatures. Thank you❤
Well done, for all the tireless work you do on behalf of God's beautiful beasts. Thank you for your service.
Giving her the last act of kindness means that was the first act of kindness any humans gave her in her short life. Run free little girl & enjoy the pastures of heaven that will always be green. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔 No horse deserves this kind of suffering. The Big Lick industry needs to end, and I'm so grateful for those who are rescuing and speaking out against this cruelty. Rest in peace, sweet Serenity. Your story won’t be forgotten. 🐴🙏 #StopBigLick
Even if I didn't know about the abuse if you have two brain cells to rub together you can tell that's so not normal and looks so painful.
That's so terrible it's destroying horses 💔💔💔
Schrecklich, ich dachte diese Big Lick Scheiße ist vorbei. die Menschen sind KOPFKRANK. Jason, kämpft weiter !!!! DANKE
100% :(
Thank you for continuing to expose this. It’s horrendous this abuse requires any explanation to get it Stopped. Decades of broken horses for a grotesque-looking movement.
OMG this is the stuff of horrors. Name and shame all of these people.
Been DECADES protesting
this Horrific abuse.
Nothing changes. 😢
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING 🐴
to Ban the industry ‼️❤
NO MORE BIG LICK !!!!!
Stop big lick cruelty 😮😡
People are so cruel. I hope they se the light and change their ways. Sending love and light to horses that are owned by these people. 😢❤
My heart hurts for them so much. Thank you for continuing to stand up against this cause.
Im so horrified that this abuse still happens. Poor sweet baby x 😢
How can someone treat their beloved horses in this way?? And many riders are too fat.🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️I’m happy that in my country such cruelty will never happen. Thank you for fighting against this abuser
Thank you thank you for bringing this forward!!
Thank you so much for fighting this evil sick abuse. Sick people
GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE KEEP UP THE FIGHT !!!!
I nearly couldn’t watch this to the end. Please, please keep up your very good work. Don’t forget to look after your own selves as you face into this horrific trauma day in day out. Thank you for what you’re doing 🙏
Thank you for bringing awareness…(had no idea) My heart sank when I saw this…
horrific evil cruelty .
Thank you for showing her kindness does exist ❤
Heartbreaking 💔
Cruelty is not the word I want something stronger
Evil?
Barbaric
Torture. They perform physical torture on these big lick horses until they break, then throw them away. Disgusting.
Demonic?
Atrocity?
Thanks for giving her the last act of kindness and allowing her to not suffer a min longer
Big lick people are sick and twisted . Thank you for rescuing the poor babs.
I literally forced myself to watch the whole video, it's sooo sad & I can't stop crying. Horses are extremely spiritual animals, they deserve sooo much better!!!
These horses move so beautifully naturally!
That's so sad. Breaks my heart for them horses. Those peoples need to be shut down. It needs to stop doing the horses that way.😢💔
The state of that horse is horrific and is the work of savages.
Well said.
this is absolutely HEARTBREAKING.... Thank you so much for exposing this horrible animal abuse.
How is this not illegal with abuse charges for all involved even those who go and support such abuse?
Get rid of big lick, I have a beautiful walker that has a natural high stepping walk that's natural, and boy can she move. Nobody ever did anything to her. Why would anyone punish a horse to walk that way. Poor horse only 3 years old, will never recover from what was done. My walker is 24 years old and 100% sound. So sad I wish I could adopt one, but I'm way north in canada. Best of luck, my heart is with you ❤️
These people are sick!!!
I don't even think they are humans
Yes they are, evil monsters 👻 👽
I hope this gets the attention it rightly deserves. There is no reason to make horses perform like this! Thank you for shining a light on this
Please keep on fighting this industry !!! How shameful ! How horrible ! These "big lick" participants should all be punished !
Poor little baby, I often feel like I’m not talented enough for my 3 year old warmblood, but big lick breaking down such a young horse their body says it all.
This is devastatingly egregious!!! I live in TN and shall contact the TN Dept of Agriculture. Thank you for your disclosure of this industry.
Agreed! Im in TN aswell and rode!
*ride
Wow! Thank you for this and all you do!
I followed this atrocity so so closely when Clant Seay aka Billy goboy used to patrol the shows and expose the abuse. Clant is sadly no longer with us but I pray that shortly he will have his day up there in heaven when the Sick big lick industry is abolished. I did so much research, read every study I could find. There can simply be no excuses whatsoever for this so called industry. It has NO PLACE in the equestrian world.
I agree with you 👍 💯
I didn't know Clant passed 😢
@debmagel yes in 2023. The big lick community even made comments on YT about Clant not living long enough to see his work through!!!! How evil is that... Just shows you the kind of folk they are.
God bless you for your rescues ❤please keep up the work.😢
It's such an incredibly heart wrenching fight! Hopefully together we can make a change!
So extremely sorry to hear this. So horrifically anger😢
Thank you for saving these poor horses and educating the public. I pray that one day not another horse has to go through this....
Thank you again for saving these horses. ❤
I'm still crying on this . I hate biglick
💔HPHS was the first one to inform me of what the Big Lick was about. ABUSE AT IT’S FINEST!!!!! Big Lick is so sick at what they do to these horses and then throw them away like trash! Absolutely heartbreaking!!! Thank you HPHS for what all you do and keep up the good work!!!!! God Bless all of you guys!!!❤
It’s sad that the places you rescue all these horses is horrible thank you My heart goes out to these horses I live in Baltimore balto we have horses here race horses pimlico race track and laurel racetrack and a few Amish farms we have a lot of private horses farms and never seen horses look bad here but Pennsylvania is not far from me the horses look well taken care
This is the first time I've ever heard of this atrocity until now. That is horrible. God bless you guys and thank you for what you do.
I own a TWH, there is so much more to this amazing breed than their gait, it is disgusting that the only thing these breeders see is a gait and abuse them to make it even bigger. TWH are so versatile, I’ve competed in endurance with my mare and had great success, and you don’t have to rip there mouth off to get them to gait, my mare gaits on a loose rein.
In what world do they think this is ok?! How do they get away with this cruelty. Thank you for your kindness.
Absolutely unacceptable, it’s barbaric and I can’t believe folks would like this artificial movement, I’ll support you in every way!
Shared all over social media. Thank you for helping Serenity, thank you for your boots on the ground, for your beautiful hearts and gentle souls. This was an extremely good video for denouncing the Big Lick, brilliantly made and extremely poignant. I hope that my sharing it makes a difference, we all need to share it, please. 🙏🏻
PTL Jesus for reseaon saving our TWH from abusive big lick shows and owners ❤god bless you twanee and Jason 😢
I love the choice of voice over with a wise old British man energy. Like David Attenborough
Not only are the horses started too young ..with too heavy riders .. with the stacks the natural weight distribution is shifted from their front legs to their back legs … you see it in how they are literally walking on their hocks ….. how this cannot be stopped by the most simple animal protection (not to cause unnecessary suffering for an animal … I will never understand ….
In dressage it takes 10 years of training to teach the horse to sit on its hind end, doing that to a baby horse when it doesn't have the strength or balance is absurd!!
I donated what I could afford. Thank you SO much for helping these beautiful creatures. We can only hope that karma will bite those abusers in the ass.
