@@quarterofdressage7666 his hocks aren’t turned in if you were talking about when he was stopped his weight was just shifted and I have two mares who’s legs swing to the side it’s usually when horses have a lot of mother and they want to run you have to hold them back when you hold them back the step to the side because they want to run and btw these mares were never padded

fun fact, wringing or twisting of the hocks is common among gaited breeds and doesn’t mean a horse is in pain or crippled

@@mentallyinsane445there movements are 100% natural. i’m every discipline there is gonna be abuse, some more than others. in big lick you guys put chains on their hooves, big blocks, and oil or something on their legs so they lift them higher. there are huge riders riding little horses/pony’s in big lick, not although that sometimes happens in other disciplines, it always happens in big lick. tell me that isn’t abuse?

@@neve.eqq4 Last time I checked, foals do not come out of the womb and start doing a piaffe or jumping way past their height. First of all, the chains and pads do NOT cause any harm and that is proven by University of Tennessee. Read their study. And second, the HPA (Horse Proection Act) of 1970 banned soring, which along with it, came inspections by the USDA. The HPA clearly states: Prohibits the auction, sale, exhibition, showing or transport of sored horses. Every horse before, and sometimes afterwards entering the ring will be inspected. They will be re-inspected if they score in the top 3 or are randomly chosen. These are all the tests in one inspection on one horse: Locomotive Test - Can the horse move around freely? Perform a figure 8? Palpations - Does the horse flinch, pull away or show signs of discomfort while their pastern is palpated? There cannot be excessive hair loss. Also ensures compliance with the scar rule. Shoe Measurements - Does it meet the heel to toe ratio? Are the pads made with correct material and meet the correct thickness? X-Rays - Ensures no further shoe violations and to look for coffin bone rotation. Thermography - Checks for abnormal heat patterns, which could point towards a sored horse. Blood Testing - Checks for numbing/pain medications. Chemical Swabs - Checks for illegal substances that may not have been detected earlier. Heck, the inspections are so strict, horses that could easily pass are turned down. The government is very strict. No, vets do not get paid off. They chose their job for a reason and will not simply risk losing it for a couple hundred bucks. Sources such as Humane Society, BillyGoBoy and Raleigh Link are not at all trustworthy. If soring happens to be detected, the rider/owner will face a fine, disqualification, a ban from showing and possible jail time. The pads range from 2-5 lbs, which is .0054% of a 1,200 lb animal, while the chains are 6 oz and sit loosely. The chains are for proprioception and limb awareness. Believe it or not, disciplines such as dressage, saddleseat or even some AQHs have used chains as part of their training. Absolutely no horse can be sored today and from many of the accounts I follow on different platforms, their padded horses are nothing but pampered babies that love to show off. One last thing, Walking horses are not ponies. They are very thick built and muscular horses that are capable of having riders of almost all sizes to ride them. If the horse is not struggling, there is no reason to comment. Please, next time do further research before following what the rest of the crowd says. The gaited community is tired of people attempting to override facts with their opinions. By the way, this is known as padded performance.

Nothing we do with horses is natural. And sports like barrel racing and jumping are actually more impactful to a horse's joints.
