  • 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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

      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.

    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😥

      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..

    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 ❤️

    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.

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.

    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 ….
