The sad part is soring of the show horses. It's cruel.
These are beautiful animals & don't deserve this ugly practice.

[@storm7586]

soring is done on Tennessee Walkers --- NOT -- repeat NOT, American Saddlebreds -- I wish this misinformation would die -- shame on YOU Tennessee Walker "Big Lick" people !! You've shamed 2 great breeds -- one by abuse, and the other by association and misinformation

[@maddie.1824]

soring is illegal

[@asbsrbest]

Unfortunately, you are confusing Saddlebreds with Big Lick Tennessee Walking Horses. The Saddlebred is a trotting breed and if they were sored, could not perform the trot. While some individuals do gait, by and large the breed is a trotting breed and if they show at a singlefoot gait? They must also show at the trot.
