Dear Friends and Horse Warriors -

By now I'm sure you've noticed how active we've been over the past few weeks working to end the scourge of soring. While there's not much hope of passing legislation to end the abuse, there are boots on the ground efforts to eradicate soring, and we're working with the folks at the Citizens' Campaign who are the tip of the spear. Please read and share this article published by Horse Nation on the return of convicted horse torturer Jackie McConnell to the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration. Here's the link: https://www.horsenation.com/2021/09/10/tennessee-walking-horse-national-celebration-allows-convicted-horse-abuser-jackie-mcconnell-to-return-while-reform-efforts-continue-to-fail/?fbclid=IwAR2-G17nGojphh_kZ1OXB0t2fJInVWvncrNLD1LVlFA4aw87Qhr2gEE93PQ 

There's so much more to come....

All the best,

Marty Irby
