- Here is the deal folks... if you have nothing nice to say, go on about your way. I will delete your comments. I don't runaround badmouthing other breeds. Then again, I was taught manners during my raising. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. You don't have to watch the video, remember? Take your finger and click on something else.
No one here is "badmouthing" the breed--we're "badmouthing" those of you who ruthlessly exploit it.
How are we exploiting it?
The absolute torture that these horses have to go through having their front legs and feet burned chained . Their in so much pain and forced by pain to a disfiguring an unnatural walk........ These people are sick!!! No other horse Industry does this.
Can anyone tell me the reason behind the terrible equitation of gaited horse riders, esp men? Slumped over, learning forward, bouncy seat, etc. We used to laugh at them as kids, while we waited for our saddle seat equitation classes! Maybe it hurts their b*lls?
Too many of 'em are TOO FAT to be sittin' on 'em in first place.
That’s how you ride a walking horse but u wouldn’t know anything about that
Good question, I don't ride my Tennessee walking horses like that, but my Walker's don't have chains and stack's on them, they are natural.
@@carsonwalls8164 You do not ride any breed of horse like that. You should never put those chemicals, chains, and heavy pads on any horses feet. Even on a TWH you don't hunch over like that. The only way those idiots are staying on is by holding on for dear life with the bit.
@@lucindra766 soring is illegal idiot
Compare this video to now. This video has TONS of fans compared to what is going on now. HARDLY ANYONE goes sees this. Thanks to many who pulled the curtain back the Soring Secret is out. The Past Act is on the Table now and many Politicians don't like to see animals harmed needlessly.
You wanna know what Big Lick looks good on? Statues. In motion it looks hideous and the riders are all hunchback goons Nothing Elegant about it. The horses have to work 1000% harder than a flatshoed horse. A Canter to a Stacked shoe horse is a trainwreck the way it looks because of all the weights and ungainly manner of achieving it. Its really ugly instead of what it should be: Fluid and Relaxed. Instead of a pretty pose of a rider straight back etc. A hunched fiend doing whatever they can to win a Ribbon Medal or Trophy.
Billy go boy has brought attention to the cruelty
Apparently you've never seen the shows. I'm sure flat shod is actually more popular, but that doesn't mean the stands don't get filled with *padded performance*. Big Lick is not a thing anymore. It is a term for soring which has been heavily outlawed since 1970 by the HPA. Every horse in inspected pre show and afterwards if they score the top 3 or are randomly selected. I've heard the government will disqualify for things such as fly spray or hoof polish. They don't play around when it comes to making sure these horses are sound and happy.
Horses wasnt made to wear stacks. You can see the pain in their eyes. Chemical burns and the chain hitting the sores. They are braken those beautiful horses. Breaks my heart. Horses sweat when they are stress
Soring is highly illegal. Every single horse at every show goes through rigorous inspection by the USDA before entering. The chains are 6 oz and the sweat you see is from being worked. Have you ever seen a race horse?
@@mentallyinsane445 yep soring is illegal and the industry appointed inspectors turn a blind eye. USDA inspectors find fsr more violations. Soring hasn't stopped, it's just more devious.
The breed is lovely, the people around the breed are hideous monsters intent only on their own pleasure, caring nothing for their horses. Poor horses. Some of the sweetest you'll ever meet. They don't deserve all of this.
They're fine, you're just too ignorant to go to a showing barn and meet them. I follow padded horse owner on all types of medias and they are nothing but pampered.
@@mentallyinsane445 now I know you are nuts! Those horses have no turnout because they'd fall off their stacks and injure themselves. The exercise is endless circles in a round pen or actually being ridden by the hunch back brigade. Again on an oval. They aren't balanced because their natural equilibrium has been artificially altered, andvyou could never get them fit because of the ridiculous contraptions on their feet. Pampering... Lets go into that. They're fed, groomed, stalls clean, not to mention deforming their natural tail carriage. The natural instinct of a horse is to be able to roam, graze pasture, roll in mud, groom and interact with its herd members. None of which these horses are allowed to do. Horses were not designed to be locked in a 12ft x 12ft area. They suffer mentally. They learn all forms of stable habits, crib , weave, windsuck... All stress related. So do not tell me they are pampered.
Disturbing to say the least. Abuse plain and simple. The horses look deformed. No horsemanship here, just torture. Not to mention most of these men look too heavy and big for these poor horses. Very sad indeed
Celebration time again, I see. People only comment on it when it comes around.
@@stormywarning did you see what they had to ban for these shows? I saw an ex whatever this "natural gait" is show us how they hid the soaring and chemicals. They use spray paint. Yeah spray paint and raw skin. I will never change my opinion unless you can show me a video of someone training them RIGHT. Btw. That means no chemicals.
@@xxpheonixequestrianxxxd1141 you do realize they do checks for chemical burns & if your horse has chemical burns your banned not all trainers are bad it’s just shoes & light chains now the chains weigh as much as our apple watches don’t drag these people unless you se them actually doing things wrong which I see nothing wrong here the walking horse world is changed now due to Checks go to a show & look at these horses close up there fine saddle bred horses walk the same just without shoes!
@@symplicitythearabianmare242 "without the shoes", as you call them.
@@symplicitythearabianmare242 This is pure abuse, the industry doesn't care at all about their horses.
Sick practice! Sick, cruel people.
You just described your self sick sick sick
@@tennesseewalker4956 How is this video remotely okay? Those horses are in obvious amounts of pain.
@@lucindra766 Horse soring has been outlawed by the HPA for 53 years now. USDA inspections are held at each rated show and training barns. They have 3 major parts to it before each and every horse enters the ring.
1. General appearance: Are his eyes relaxed? Abnormally sweating or breathing? Anxious? Or responsive to his surroundings.
2. Gait + stance: Can the horse move freely? Are his legs constantly shifting around? Can he manage a figure 8?
3. Physical Exam: Checks for scars, does blood tests, palpates the pasterns, both front and back.
If any sensitivity is shown, any scars are found, discoloration, etc. the horse will not pass the inspection. Keep in mind, there are pre and post show inspections to double check. They will be banned from showing if any signs of present or previous scarring shows. They will also ensure shoeing regulations which must not exceed 5 inches of padding with it weighing 3-5 lbs (like us wearing work boots) and chains/rollers that weigh less than 6 ounces (or a bracelet). 95% of horses that come to show are HPA compliant
All I see is not walking but limping horses.
Limping where? All of these horses are inspected before entering the ring to make sure they are completely sound.
Can't you see the hind legs and heads while they try to balance? This has nothing to do with natural gaits or soundness. And those stacks...
Let's talk after you go running in platform shoes like the horses.
@@1997Runa The overstride and drive from behind is a natural feature of the walking horse that should be seen from birth. Every horse must pass an inspection to make sure they are not sored and they are sound for showing. Running with platforms? Please, the pads weigh 2-5 lbs, thats .0054% of a horse's body weight.
@@mentallyinsane445 I know. I know how they train the horses, that some of them won't get up, that they don't get turnout with those stacks,...
Let me tell you about physics. There is a huge(!) difference whether you put a weight of "only 2-5 lbs" on a horse or at the bottom of the hoof because of the centrifugal force.
Natural gait needs NO weight and it's beautiful.
@@1997Runa Okay... says a lot that you would believe Humane Society. They 'save' horses ineligible for slaughter, create a sob story for thousands of donations then euthanize them for space. The ThorSport barn they documented? Very sure they didn't even try to shut it down. Plus, those videos are a decade old and only show one barn that sores. One bad padded performance barn and the animal activists flip out. But 10 bad jumping barns and you guys are silent. Spare the shit and stick to flat shod. Its that easy.
To a horse person and former trainer, this is just so sad. From the exaggerated head bob to the turn out of the hind feet, in the most distorted way, as they try to avoid stepping on their front feet to the stacks or fake hooves which they don't even cover with strike boots anymore. Horses were meant to move with impulsion, ease, and natural neck.
LemonLadyRecords these horses are bred for the exaggerated head nod, a “crooked back leg “, overstride ect...
@@stacyyoung1253 Breeding is one thing, soring and padding is something else entirely--which is what all these horses are forced to endure so their soulless inhuman[e] owners (see "monsters, definition of") can win.
@@stacyyoung1253 nonsense

@@kimsutherland977 this chic is ignorant and don't have a damn clue what she is talking about. I've owned 2 TWH one bay and one spotted both registered. Never ever looked like that crap! Cause we were good to them and they died of old age and even then we were aware enuff that it was time and had a vet come out and humanely euthanize them. This need's to stop, shut the celebration down. Be done with it!!!
Life long horseman here who as a child looked upon these with marvel. Now it disgust me. The breed has the most beautiful natural gait of any breed and it has been bastardized in to what you see here by ignorance.

You think saying lies about a great industry is right
@@tennesseewalker4956 I would ask you who's lying.. but it would be a ridiculous notion that I'd get a truthful answer.

@@looneytunes105 you can understand my comment if you don’t your dumber than I thought
These horses are in pain. Watch a video about horse soring. It's exactly this show. How can you own a horse and still like something like that ?
What a special!! Parading pain!! Look at all the people in the stands and the people in the show ring that are in pure denial!! Even though the horses are animals, they will have to answer to God.
@@judithg1020 AMEN--You preach it, Sister!
@@tamarabacon7998 thank you for your your encouraging reply!! It's been a year since I texted my comment and I take comfort in knowing that there are nice people that still look at the videos about these beautiful horses! Thank you, Ms. Bacon, for your reply about this barbaric procedure. Bless you!
@@judithg1020 And here I am, more than a little late on the uptake, wondering if I'm wasting my time commenting on a video posted 11 years ago--so THANK YOU for "your encouraging reply".
@@tamarabacon7998 My sentiments as well!! It continues to amaze me that some people turn a "blind eye" to a circumstance that continues to play out! This kind of denial started thousands of years ago with the story of Adam and Eve: they had everything, and yet, that one apple was more important than ALL God had given them; the people that compete in this barbaric "Celebration" have the same belief that Adam and Eve had; the silly blue ribbon is more important than the health and happiness of those lovely horses; denial is easier to cope with than the event they call the Celebration!! Thank you, Ms. Bacon, for your recent reply. What are your thoughts?
How can people believe sores with chains on them aren’t painful? It defies logic!! And don’t tell me they passed inspection. You can just about teach a horse anything. The horse flinches, hit’em over the head, horse flinches, hit’em over the head. Huh, horse no longer flinches. Wow, imagine that!! And here I will refrain from calling names…but I bet you can guess.
Yes, they did in fact pass inspection. If they did not, they would not be in the ring. The 1970 HPA law has prohibited sored horses from auction, sales, transportation, showing or any type of exhibition. Don't believe me? This is every part of an inspection that goes on for one horse before entering the ring.
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.
If shows do NOT have USDA inspectors present, the show is to be reported and shut down immediately. I've seen horses disqualified for things such as hoof polish and fly spray. The government does not play around when it comes to making sure these horses are sound and happy.
If you're one of those tree huggers who donates to Humane Society thinking you're doing something, you are completely wrong. Horse Plus has got to be one of the most corrupt organizations out there. They love to create their sob stories to get thousands upon thousands of dollars for who knows what. It sure doesn't go in to "rehabilitating" the horses they "save." Did you know they've euthanized over 10,000 lbs of horses? They were posted for money, then euthanized. Heck, they weren't even eligible for slaughter. Don't assume things everyone else says is true before doing your own independent research. Also, there is no such thing as teaching a horse to not react to pain.
Sad,to see all the cruelty that hurts those horses, Sad
What’s sad about it
This video gotta get taken down if they think it’s ok cuz this is absolutely cruel and abusive, they abuse to win that’s what they do just for money and the poshness of the walk, it’s a walk of torture to them, I hope that it will be fully illegal. 😢
Soring has been illegal since the 70’s. Those found guilty can have truck, trailer and horse confiscated and be heavily fined. Horses are manually palpated to check for soreness prior to entering warm up area, then not permitted to leave area after examination. Horses placing in the class are palpated after leaving the ring. Too much at stake here to risk sending in a sore horse. Have you ever been to tTWH training barn? These horses are carefully tended, it’s a LOT of work!
@@radchannel5494 What their doing to the horses is CRUEL They are putting acid on their ankles, then chains t9 make them trot like that, it’s pure evil.
@@GoreAndMetalMusic Can you not read? The HPA of 1970 has PROHIBITED sored horses from sales, auction, showing, transportation or any form of exhibition. The acid is no longer applied. Every horse before showing must be inspected. Also, don't be afraid to admit you literally don't know shit about walking horses. Because you don't! They are GAITED which means their trot is not a part of the shows. They only show their flat walk, running walk and canter. The chains are a proprioceptive aid, while the pads ultimately help them extend their gait. If you support Humane Society, Billy Go Boy or Raleigh Link, don't even bother replying.
Who was John Allen Callaway riding?
a horse thats getting abused and is prolly dead now . why you ask ? its not like you actually care
@@thanhhonghoang643 You don't care either. It's a ten year old video. All horses were inspected by the USDA and swabbed. Instead of being ignorant. Check what goes on. I swabbed horses at the shows then. I inspected.
@@thanhhonghoang643 Many of these horses are started at 2-3 and have a career lasting into their late teens to early twenties. Much longer than many other disciplines, and less joint injuries.
Nothing nice to say so I will go on about my way.
Mature of you, but keep in mind none of these horses are abused.
@@mentallyinsane445 🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️

@@mentallyinsane445 ok how bout lmao. Clants ghost will have his day! Lots of recent talk about banning stacks and chains... Let's hope the back pockets of all the politicians and people who think more of the mighty dollar than horse welfare get them firmly sewn up, and it finally gets pushed thru. I don't even live in the US, but I am disgusted along with the rest of the educated equine world.
This is like like the clowns of horses sad
Oh please, I bet you've never even touched a horse. Stop believing Humane Society's sob stories.
Stupid, heartless people do this to their horses. I’m a show horse person, so no one can call “ignorance” on this one. It’s a known fact Big Lick is cruel. The stacks are outrageous, the horses can’t move with elegance, and the animals lack enthusiasm due to the labor needed to pick up a hoof. Clearly a happy, animated horse isn’t part of this toxic division. Fat men on their backs is added cruelty. Poor Walkers. Sick discipline in the horse world.
Another horse show person, all horses in the ring were checked and passed by the federal governments. They were sounds and allowed to show. I was a swabber for foreign substances at the time. I would suggest doing your research on how these horse pass a check program to show.
@Aquene50
Actually, a small video doesn't say much. If the "entire horse world is talking", I would suggest you get out and meet some of the trainers & owners of these horses.
Nothing but pure evil!
Incorrect.
This is sick. You people should be jailed for animal cruelty. You don't care what kind of pain and damage you do to a horse just so it can ook the way you want it to. I am totally disgusted by you people and I will work to bring this practice to an end.

No, I delete your comment because you can't make debate anything. All you can do is cuss & rant without making a valid point. When someone can do that, I will probably leave one up. Until then, I won't.... Keep trying though.
Indigno de alguien con sentimientos.
Absolutely Obscene. Such long-standing cruelty against the very nature of the horse. And as ridiculous an excuse for “entertainment” as so-called bull fighting.
And your proof these horses are abused?
I can't believe they still play the same dumb music they did in the 60s! The abuses are, sad to say, worse, still bad, although denied and secret now.

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE HORSE BREED CALLED TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE.AS WITH ALL HUMAN SPORTS AND SPORTS CONTAINING ANIMALS SOME DO GET HURT AND SOME IN UP IN THE HANDS OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T CARE IF THEY ARE INJURED IN THE TRAING ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN IS WINNING AND MONEY.I JUST WANT TO KNOW DOES THE HORSE RETURN S to it's natural gaite when it can not compete any longer?
@@georgebaconjr.6203 some can be partially rehabilitated from the physical harm to entire body that starts under saddle at 18 months old (most breeds think 3 years is too young, some wait until 4-6yo to put under saddle). The psychological torture is a different story. Some "check out" mentally to survive, depending on the extent of the torture and punishment for showing any pain (stewarding).
Many BL horses do go on to be good trail or flatshod show horses under knowledge trainers.
George Bacon yes they do. Most retire after the big win. They’re standing as a Stud horse and or put out to pasture. Depends on who owns them.
@@georgebaconjr.6203 Makes them pacy as fuck !!!
@@georgebaconjr.6203 no. It generally has severe nerve damage and suspensory failure. Its hind quarters look like the horse is drunk. It cannot walk properly. It staggers. Most end up on the kill trucks. The damage is done at an early age as they break them as yearlings and their skeletons haven't formed properly, joints , ligaments, etc. Researching this vile practice has been a challenging read for me. It would not happen in Europe.
Destin OBryant.... telling me to "get a fucking life" really doesn't help your case. You might come off less ignorant by making informed statements. Please try again.

Tell me you don't know anything about these horses* without telling me
Big Lick is Shameful run them out of Shelbyville
Big Lick is not a thing. It is a term for soring which has been heavily outlawed since the 70s and is now inspected for. Quit believing Humane Society, tree hugger.
Before all you "pads MUST be banned" & "all Walking Horses are sored" people get on here & make fools of yourselves by making misinformed statements, I would suggest that you get off your computer, get out of the house, & visit some barns. You might learn a little something. It isn't about your perception, or whatever it is you have heard. Learn a little something & get informed. If you still don't like it, coming on here screaming at the rest of us sure as hell doesn't make your case any better
I have visited barns and shows. I know people who used to be involved and couldn't stand the guilt. I was told to never look down at hooves in a TWH barn. I sat in the front row just to learn for myself because I don't take people's word about things. One lap around the ring and the poor horses were in such distress and sweating so profusely that a few drops hit me. So, I agree with you that people should be informed by seeing the wild, terified (or vacant) eyes and feeling the toxic sweat.
I hope you've come to your senses by now.
About that "all Walking Horses are sored" part--I got my information straight from the horse's [trainer's] mouth. (See "Davis, Barney, convicted thereof").
I took your advice to "learn a little something" and this is what I "learned": In 2014 BIG LICK Celebration CEO Mike Inman and VETERAN BIG LICK horse TRAINER Winky Groover were CITED with MULTIPLE HPA VIOLATIONS from 2002-SEVEN YEARS BEFORE your video-to 2011. In fact, in 2009 alone-the year your video posted-CEO Inman was CITED FOUR TIMES! Additionally, a February 17, 2014 post noted that "UNDER INMAN’S MANAGEMENT, the Celebration’s S.H.O.W. HIO [wa]s being DECERTIFIED by the U.S.D.A. for 139 VIOLATIONS of the Horse Protection Act". Furthermore, Larry Joe Wheelon was INDICTED on MULTIPLE COUNTS of AGGRAVATED CRUELTY to Tennessee Walking Horses-and he was the ETHICS CHAIRMAN of the Tennessee Walking Horse TRAINERS ASSOCIATION!
In other words, HORSES were "CHECKED" by an AGENCY (S.H.O.W. HIO) that VIOLATED the legislation enacted to protect them!
POINT BEING: Yes, competition is monitored-but in pretty much the same way as the proverbial hen house was "monitored" by the proverbial fox.
PS: And YES, "pads MUST be banned"-as well as anything else that causes an unhealthy disruption or severe exaggeration of a horse's normal physiologically-sound gait.
PS: See the Barney Davis video for an "insider's" view.
Thanks for sharing this, I was there but I have never saw this from this side and close before......WOW!!! Great Horse's I wish they could of ALL won!!
go rot you twat .
Go get yourself educated on the sick truth behind the gait you find so amazing. Try reading the AUBURN STUDY
That's the thing, they can't win, the owner always want more, they always want a bigger gait which also means more pain.

Lemon Lady! Totally agree with you! My niece is a veterinarian and sits on the board at one of the most prestigious vet school, Texas A & M. She also has a small farm near the New Mexico border. She has spoken to me about USDA and some still are performing these barbaric practice. I know some of the TWHs are not sored, but when you see on video, etc., Of the horses that have the thick pads they are sored
@@judithg1020 Pads do NOT equal soring. Soring is the intentional infliction of pain to their pasterns, normally involving caustic chemicals. The USDA does not play around when it comes to making sure these horses are sound and HPA compliant.

Sick that's so gross that you support this shit
All horses that are featured in this video were checked by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT & S.H.O.W H.I.O before they were allowed into the warmup area. All of these fantastic horses were deemed sound by Vets that work for the federal government (USDA). The rigorous check these horses passed included thermography, and palpation. Most people that come here and spew myths and negative comments do not understand exactly what kind of checks these horses have to pass to show.
Monica, there have been several horses that have "passed inspection". There are Bad apples" I every bunch". Including the USDA. My niece is a vet and sits on the board at Texas A & M. She knows some are clean, and she knows some horses have been sored.
Monica Elliott exactly! Thank you for that.

Yah? Well tell that to BARNEY DAVIS!
This industry constantly hides the abuse. They will pay/bribe the "vets" or they will bring their stables local "vet" and since the horses knows it'll get beat if it flinches, it stands still. Just because something is illegal doesn't mean that people will fully stop doing it. Murder is illegal and most murderers get caught but, some stay on the run for the rest of their lives. Some owners who sore get caught and pay a minimal fine but, others still get into these clown shows. Those stacks do no good for the horse.

3. Physical Exam: Checks for scars, does blood tests, palpates the pasterns, both front and back.
If any sensitivity is shown, any scars are found, discoloration, etc. the horse will not pass the inspection. Keep in mind, there are pre and post show inspections to double check. They will be banned from showing if any signs of present or previous scarring shows. They will also ensure shoeing regulations which must not exceed 5 inches of padding with it weighing 3-5 lbs (like us wearing work boots) and chains/rollers that weigh less than 6 ounces (or a bracelet). 95% of horses that come to show are HPA compliant
Pusher's Astro is my horse now lol he was the second in.
Disgusting abuse of these horses. And hunched back riders bouncing around on already strained back
You can tell when it's celebration time. No one watches these videos unless it's been talked about on Facebook and tv and they believe everything fed to them. Out of the woodwork they appear to leave one sentence comments, then return to under their rocks.
Well can I at least believe what I am watching? 'Cause. Every. Single. One. Of. Those. Horses. Is. Chained.
@@tamarabacon7998 so that means what
@@tennesseewalker4956 That they have been contorted into an unnatural and painful position for the benefit of those who couldn't care less about their comfort.
People need to get a life, most of these beautiful creatures live in conditions better than most! They are a very proud bread and if trained right love carrying a pad stack in front of a crowd. #FBGB - RIDE WITH PRIDE
No actually they are forced to perform an unnatural gait. Without stacks and chains the circus gait is unachievable. SICK
Yes they look so happy. Shure they do .. That exaggerated walk is hideous.. The horses often look like their back legs are going to collapse under them.
@@kimsutherland977 Ok? Yet the pads and chains cause zero harm. So whats your point, "horse expert?"
@@lorettarussell3235 If you don't know anything about the breed, don't bother to comment. Their overstride from behind is seen in all walkers, barefoot to padded. Literally a natural born movement.
@@mentallyinsane445 yep, you must live up to your user name if you think its ok to ruin a horse. Equine biomechanics contradicts everything about the nazi goose step aka SICK BIG LICK. A horse loads 60/70% of its weight on the forehand. Hind legs are not designed for weight transfer. They don't waddle like ducks naturally! Oh, I studied at Harpbury University so I think I am more expert than you.
Let em walk on
Simply disgusting !!! I can’t believe that at this height in human history, such ignorance still exists !!!
The ignorance is all on you, bud. Read the HPA law of 1970. All these horses are USDA inspected before going through that chute.
@@mentallyinsane445 it doesn’t matter how many laws are in place okaying that kind of treatment !! The horse doesn’t know , it’s not normal or natural to alter the natural pace or walking of the horse , the persons doing that to the horse are on my view even more ignorant than the horse itself !! Totally stupid !!!
