A new organization has started up called One Horse at a Time, Inc. They are dedicated to helping horses in need across the U.S. Their work is related to helping horses not be sent to Canada or Mexico for slaughter, help abused and neglected horses get rehabilitated, and to help end the practice of soring TWHs.

This is a link to their petition they are sending around to get signatures to send to Congressmen, legislators, and other such people to make them aware of the practice of soring and that it needs to stop. They are looking for 5,000 signatures. Please take the time to sign their petition, whether you own TWHs or not, even whether if you own a horse or not.
"Today, Tennessee Walking Horses are known throughout the industry
as the breed that shows abused and tortured horses."

"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity,
you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."
~ St. Francis of Assisi
