When are we going to stop using animals for our pleasure and enjoyment to their pain and suffering? No actual human being would approve of this. Shame on the human race.REPORT COMMENTS

Please please stop this immediately. It is so very sad to see these horses move - the people who do this and watch these shows should have this done to their feet!REPORT COMMENTS

To keep stacks or pads as allowed by a bill written by Rep Blackburn serves only to allow continued soring and a way to hide the abuses. The NC State Fair is now considering not having padded horse classes in the 2015 show. Only 3 horses were shown in the WGC class at the 2014 Celebration when heretofore 10 to 12 entries were common. Former trainers are now saying that there is no way to get the horse to perform the artificial big lick gaits without soring. When attending the World Equestrien Games in 2010 I was not surprised and sufficiently embarrassed that the TWH or any representative of the padded show horse was allowed to exhibit because of the reputation of abuse. For the past 3 years the exhibiting horse at the annual University of Tennessee homecoming game has been a flat shod TWH and not the padded, big lick, artifically gaited representative of the breed. For all these reasons and those listed above it is time for you to support the PAST Act. The public and you as our legislators must support passage of the PAST Act.REPORT COMMENTS

Please pass this bill....these inhumane practices are long over due to STOP. No animal should be abused to make it do something that is not natural for its breed.REPORT COMMENTS
