Dear Friends and Supporters -

We've been working hard to end the plague of soring that's marred the Tennessee Walking Horse breed for 6 decades, and you have inspired us to keep going time and time again. But now, the breed seems to have reverted back to its old ways in welcoming Jackie McConnell - the most notorious convicted horse abuser of all time - back to the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, the world championship show that ended Saturday. There's more information coming soon with further details but we wanted to share with you our statement on the matter and hope you'll spread the word by sharing it on social media. Here's the link: https://animalwellnessaction.org/2021/09/06/statement-on-convicted-horse-abuser-jackie-mcconnell-returning-to-tennessee-walking-horse-national-celebration/ 

Thank you for all you do for the horses. 

All the best,

Marty Irby
