the problem I and my fellow equine hero's want to solve is equine abuse and horse soring. These amazing animals do not deserve to be abused in anyway. I have seen so many of these innocent animals being abused in all different and in human ways. Soring is the use of chemicals or mechanical technology that causes a horrendous amount of pain to the front legs when there feet hit the ground. The change in the horses legs and feet curses them to pick up there front feet higher and quicker then the natural Hight and speed. It is illegal in the U.S why shouldn't it be illegal everywhere else in the world as well. the high stepping action  of the front legs is called "the big lick!". They normally put these soring chemicals and devices on the Tennessee walking horses. They normally use horseshoes that have added pads and weight (these are sometimes called "stacks"), with the added on weighted chains and (or) rollers that are placed around the pasterns. this has to change 

neglecting and abusing quines is an extreme mistreatment of these beautiful animals.
