Following Up on the Torture Visited Upon Tennessee Walking Horses
Reader Comments
THE SORING CONTINUES and here is why
I heard TWHBEA VP Bob Ramsbottom, and WHTA Pres Link Webb's ticket at White Pine Tennessee for soring a Tennessee Walking Horse was mysteriously dismissed and torn up by the National Horse Show Commission President which is also part of the WHTA and WHOA for a "lack of evidence". Is this true or just vicious rumor?
It is true. This is the way tickets are taken care of because WHTA stuck a deal with the USDA to police their own. This is how they police their own. Make the ticket disapear and the soring continues!
They haven't stopped Bonnie

same ole same ole
deleting posts will never take away the truth of the soring practices as it only sets back sound believers another decade. sometimes I wonder if the sound horse will ever prevail in my life time. as long as posts are being deleted and those that upset the sore world are repremanded and silenced with threats, the truth about the sore horse will once again be swept under the rugs of those that report about it and do not write with facts and proof.
until someone steps down from the inside pedastal of knowledge with proof that 99% of the horses are still sore, then we can expect those loving horses to continue to show sore. all we need is for someone to show those videos of top trainers and owners soring these sweet natured animals before they get them to the show grounds. but I suspect it will never happen because if they sore side can get to a major publication and use scare tactics and law suits to get the truth deleted, then there is no telling what they will do to someone on the inside.
disappearing acts
Well, so far, there have been many posts deleted.....suxh as Tn Stud's dissertation regarding the sore state of the industry.
Interesting-eh?
Angry Trainers and Owners
Thank you Bonnie for not forgeting us. I personally am looking forward to your next article on the TWH industry. It should be interesting to see how you see the results of the Celebration in a couple of months.
But it sounds like those angry trainers and owners (high profile owners with money and politics all over the country) are pulling some politics of their own with reader services. This is what we call the 'Good Ole Boys' and they are at work behind the scenes as always. All it would take is for one padded horse owner that is a large stock holder with US News to make a phone call and all your articles would disappear.
