To anyone saying "that's big lick" or "that's abuse" you are completely ignorant. Big lick is a derogatory term for soring, which has been outlawed for over 50 years. Since the 1970 HPA (Horse Protection Act), sored horses have NOT been allowed to compete. This is exactly what the HPA states; "Prohibits the showing, sale, auction, exhibition, or transport of sored horses." If that isn't enough, here are all the stages of an inspection (that AHEM, every horse must go through and pass pre and sometimes post show); Locomotive Test - Can the horse move around freely? Perform a figure 8? Palpations - Does the horse flinch, pull away or show signs of discomfort while their pastern is palpated? There cannot be excessive hair loss. Also ensures compliance with the scar rule. Shoe Measurements - Does it meet the heel to toe ratio? Are the pads made with correct material and meet the correct thickness? X-Rays - Ensures no further shoe violations and to look for coffin bone rotation. Thermography - Checks for abnormal heat patterns, which could point towards a sored horse. Blood Testing - Checks for numbing/pain medications. Chemical Swabs - Checks for illegal substances that may not have been detected earlier. This means that absolutely no sore or unsound horse can compete. They will be fined, disqualified, banned from showing and likely face jail time. And to those who say "what about that one video from Humane Society!" Humane Society is one of the most corrupt organizations that loves to create made up sob stories for profit. They are nothing but corruption and suspicious activity. The man whom Humane Society payed to read a script, lied for a get out of jail free card, as he had sored horses himself. The ThorSport barn they documented is NOT ALL BARNS. You guys see 10 bad jumping barns and still think its fine, but one bad padded performance horse barn and you animal rights activists flip out. By the way, the pads are 2-5 lbs. That is only .0054% of a 1,200 lb animal's whole body weight. The chains are 6-8 oz, which is .0004% of them and used as a proprioceptive aid. And the riders are not too big. That is plain body shaming. If you guys also don't know, the head bob and "squat" or overstride of their hind legs can be seen in a walker as soon as they stand up from birth. Keep believing the sob stories or go pepper spray some youth riders (aka what BillyGoBoy did). I guarantee almost NONE of you have been around these horses or even touched a horse in your life! They love what they do, and if they did not, riders would be thrown and they would not give their best leg animation and elevation. INSPECTED PADDED PERFORMANCE HORSES ARE NOT ABUSED.
the crazed cheering confuses me. it's as if they think the horses are willing participants and actually enjoy this. what is even weirder to think about is that some of these people screaming like banshees actually know about soring, and how much pain these beautiful horses are in
The 1970 HPA (Horse Protection Act) has prohibited the transportation, auction, sale, exhibition or showing of sored horses. Every horse must endure a mandated USDA inspection before & occasionally afterwards of showing. The legal use of pads and action devices do not hurt them & that has been proven by University of Tennessee.
Remember to write your senators, congressmen and Secretary of agriculture. Make sure everyone knows what Big Lick is and the result of chemicals, stacks and chain as well as tail tendon cutting. They are currently appealing new laws that protect the Horses from Big Lick. Support Horse Plus Humane Society who rescues Horses.
First of all, the chains and pads do NOT cause any harm and that is proven by University of Tennessee. Read their study. And second, the HPA (Horse Proection Act) of 1970 banned soring, which along with it, came inspections by the USDA. The HPA clearly states: Prohibits the auction, sale, exhibition, showing or transport of sored horses. Every horse before, and sometimes after entering the ring today will go through an inspection. If they score in the top 3, or are randomly chose, they will be re-inspected. These are all the tests in one inspection on one horse: Locomotive Test - Can the horse move around freely?

They chose their job for a reason and will not simply risk losing it for a couple hundred bucks. Sources such as Humane Society, BillyGoBoy and Raleigh Link are not at all trustworthy. If soring happens to be detected, the rider/owner will face a fine, disqualification, a ban from showing and possible jail time. The pads range from 2-5 lbs, which is .0054% of a 1,200 lb animal, while the chains are 6 oz and sit loosely. The chains are for proprioception and limb awareness. Believe it or not, disciplines such as dressage, saddleseat or even some AQHs have used chains as part of their training. Absolutely no horse can be sored today and from many of the accounts I follow on different platforms, their padded horses are nothing but pampered babies that love to show off. One last thing, Walking horses are not ponies. They are very thick built and muscular horses that are capable of having riders of almost all sizes to ride them. If the horse is not struggling, there is no reason to comment. Please, next time do further research before following what the rest of the crowd says. The gaited community is tired of people attempting to override facts with their opinions.
Horses are like people is a lot of ways. Even horses had bad nights, off nights, some were 'mudders'. some like a hard track. And YES, it some cases it IS what the judge likes best and preferences
if they are such great horses why do they need to be tortured to perform like this? its terrible to watch them stumbling in those big clods on their feet; painful blistering goo on their legs;; get rid of the big sick lick people! no amount of anumal cruelty is worth a ribbon or money; how can you sleep at night...
This is as gross as it gets. I wonder what the exact number of animal abusers were there. The parents that brought there kids to see this abomination should have them taken away.
@@Waywardequestrian Padding is worse than the soring. It throws the whole horse's body out of wack. These horses are left with pain, messed up backs and hips, hocks and pasterns the rest of their lives.
I have only recently become aware of this abhorrent culture called The Big Lick and SaddleSeat . From the abusive behaviour of the Stacks, Soring to cutting the tendons in the tail I just cannot believe people continue to do this to such naturally majestic horses. It’s disgusting animal abuse. The cheering is absolutely sickening. I have seen groups who save horses from slaughter and many are the cast offs from this industry sadly the majority are given the last act of kindness because they are so broken.

Thermography - Checks for abnormal heat patterns, which could point towards a sored horse.
Blood Testing - Checks for numbing/pain medications.
Chemical Swabs - Checks for illegal substances that may not have been detected earlier.
Heck, the inspections are so strict, horses that could easily pass are turned down. The government is very strict.
No, vets do not get paid off. They chose their job for a reason and will not simply risk losing it for a couple hundred bucks. Sources such as Humane Society, BillyGoBoy and Raleigh Link are not at all trustworthy. If soring happens to be detected, the rider/owner will face a fine, disqualification, a ban from showing and possible jail time.
The pads range from 2-5 lbs, which is .0054% of a 1,200 lb animal, while the chains are 6 oz and sit loosely. The chains are for proprioception and limb awareness. Believe it or not, disciplines such as dressage, saddleseat or even some AQHs have used chains as part of their training. Absolutely no horse can be sored today and from many of the accounts I follow on different platforms, their padded horses are nothing but pampered babies that love to show off. One last thing, Walking horses are not ponies. They are very thick built and muscular horses that are capable of having riders of almost all sizes to ride them. If the horse is not struggling, there is no reason to comment. Please, next time do further research before following what the rest of the crowd says. The gaited community is tired of people attempting to override facts with their opinions. INSPECTED PADDED PERFORMANCE HORSES ARE NOT ABUSED.
Thanks for this video, I have one of Cash for Keeps grandsons, awesome bloodline.
P
Wow I wish I was there to see this in person this is super cool thanks for posting this. Awesome awesome gave me cold chills! Cash For Keeps definately won that round
Riders should be docked for slouching... not only is it bad form, it throws the horses center of gravity off.
Yeah. That's the ONLY problem...
Also people getting triggered about some ahit they know nothing about that's a very big one right behind slouching riders
They don't have a center of gravity in those contraptions.
Think they think it makes horse look like neck and head higher. Used to be several big name trainers road that way.
two of greatest horses ever.cash for keeps reminds me of ` Puttin cash on the line'.
all I see is abuse -.-
Well tortured horses & hunched over, cold hearted ghouls!
All I see is some very talented walking horses remember opinions are like snowflake libtards always have one in the bunch
Because your a clueless brainwashed idiot
You've lied about the whole thing so much all your life you actually believe it.
First of all, the chains and pads do NOT cause any harm and that is proven by University of Tennessee. Read their study. And second, the HPA (Horse Proection Act) of 1970 banned soring, which along with it, came inspections by the USDA. The HPA clearly states: Prohibits the auction, sale, exhibition, showing or transport of sored horses. Every horse before, and sometimes after entering the ring today will go through an inspection. If they score in the top 3, or are randomly chose, they will be re-inspected. These are all the tests in one inspection on one horse:
Locomotive Test - Can the horse move around freely? Perform a figure 8?
Palpations - Does the horse flinch, pull away or show signs of discomfort while their pastern is palpated? There cannot be excessive hair loss. Also ensures compliance with the scar rule.
Shoe Measurements - Does it meet the heel to toe ratio? Are the pads made with correct material and meet the correct thickness?
X-Rays - Ensures no further shoe violations and to look for coffin bone rotation.
Thermography - Checks for abnormal heat patterns, which could point towards a sored horse.

man no way keep beat Ritz.
This is disgusting horse abuse. They force these horses into an unnatural gait by soring them which breaks down their bodies. Another example of human abuse of animals for vanity and monetary gain.
Quit drinking the animal rights koolaid
Grotesque movement of the horses caused by cruelty
