why? what do they think they are doing? It's bad enough having a lame horse after an accident. but what do people see that is pleasing to the eye in any of that?

They do this sort of stuff to Morgans as well in america, putting Pads on there feet and keeping them locked away in stables in the dark so they come out wide eyed !! Its HORRID ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png)

from wikipaedia as it mentions what the humans will do to stop the horse reacting when being inspected ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) as the last bit says some people are def trying to stop all this abusive stuff... although I think that until they ban ALL artificial aids like the pads there will always be those who stretch the defnitions ........ those pads are like stilts..... and various breeds do wear them .... they should ALL be banned imo ! sooooooooo sad ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png)

Taken from the second link I put up!!!!
"the tortures visited on too many (not all, but too many) Tennessee walking horses make one's skin crawl. The reason "eye examinations" are now permitted by the annual Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, according to the Humane Society, is that some owners use eye drops to temporarily blind their horses. This makes them lift their hooves higher to try to feel their way around, since they cannot see. The most widely used technique, according to the Humane Society, is "soring," in which caustic chemicals, such as diesel fuel, kerosene, or mustard oil, are painted on the horse's pasterns (ankles). The pain is so intense the horse lifts its hoof to try to alleviate or get away from it."
All physical intervention should be banned imo as well as other practices impacting on the horses mental health.
Wonder what makes these 'show' people so powerful? Money???

God love those poor horses; I couldn't watch all of it either, cruelty through ignorance is bad enough, but to deliberately cause pain and suffering for show is horrendous. They certainly aren't horse lovers to do that to them ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

These TWH's and morgans came to college one summer for their shows. After huge complaints they were not allowed back. Morgans were fine but I didn't like the shouting and banging of the arena wall and the stance worries me but they were all people with a passion for horses. The TWH I left well alone. I don't think college was aware orginally of the methods some of them used but when the shoeing and tying in the stable was seen they never came back again

Watching the first vid, put me in mind of some of sci-fi horror films of aliens capturing earthbound prey. Knowing that is actually allowed to happen - words fail me, how can human beings be so cruel.
