Horseshoes are cruel and hurt the horse?

@Carla The shoes are just shoes! If they want to improve the gait, it all happens in how the hoof is trimmed.

@Quimliqer
I was raised with tennessee walking horses.

@Waymore there was a law passed many years ago to stop such practices, but it was useless. The practice continued. In 2017 trump tried to rid restrictions on these practices when he was wiping out restrictions posed on other industries.
In 2019 legislation was put forth and passed. It has yet to be made onto law.
And yes, not only those that do it and those that allow it, even those that look the other way, need their asses kicked.
This is a newborn on my sisters farm. Imagine, in two years, putting this beautiful animal through endless pain and suffering, for the sake of entertainment.
