equine-fact: theamericansaddlebred: This is Ghostly Blue aka “Casper” and Melina LaBonte at the canter. If you click through the pictures quickly it looks like they are in motion! First off all let me point out that this horse has it’s front legs tied together. (If you look closely you can see a string/rope attached to whatever is on the fetlocks.) The we have the ‘tail wrap’ which looks like it’s a a tail setting device used to forcibly set a horse’s tail higher. This is used with gaited horses, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that is what it’s used for here… I also have problems with the double bit with long shanks which is extremely harsh on the horse’s mouth especially since the rider has constant pressure on it. I’m just appalled at this… equine-fact: theamericansaddlebred: This is Ghostly Blue aka “Casper” and Melina LaBonte at the canter.

This is a picture to admire? Severe bit and the poor baby&#8217;s mouth strapped shut so there is no escape from heavy hands. Horrible and lazy training. (Rolex Kentucky 2012 by zeeplease viaDeviantart.com) Sommer Wilson Photography

stance-against-soring: That green substance that you can see on that horse’s ankles is known as work grease. It is a mixture of a thrush medication called Kopertox and petroleum jelly. “Big-lick” trainers will use this liquid for a variety of different purposes. Some use it as yet another irritant to the skin of the horse, and some use it to lubricate their legs so the chains will move more freely. Either way, nothing about it gives any sort of relief to the horse. Just more pain.
