Re: RC: Horse Abuse

[Truman Prevatt <truman.prevatt@netsrq.com>]

While there is bad in all breed shows, nothing compairs to the things
that are done to the poor Tennessee Walking Horse.  There should be a
federal law in fact there is - the Horse Protection Act.  Even with it
and its enforcement, the abuse hasn't stopped.  The abusers have just
gotten better and hidding what they are doing.
