Description: Pride was rescued from the Tennessee walking horse show industry after suffering for many years. “Soring” intentionally inflicts pain, in order to exaggerate a horse’s natural gait during competition. Pride’s handlers were successfully prosecuted, and he will live the rest of his life in peace, on his own terms, at Black Beauty Ranch. No horse should be made to suffer for a blue ribbon—it is time that this cruelty, which is known as “soring,” is stopped for good. The Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act, would amend the Horse Protection Act to end the failed system of industry self-policing, ban the use of devices integral to soring, strengthen penalties and make other reforms necessary to finally end this torture.
