Help end the cruelty of horse soring

[Can we count on you to step up for innocent horses?]( [The Humane Society of the United States]() [A horse victim of soring]( {NAME}, Did you know that it's not against federal law to use caustic chemicals to burn a horse's legs and flesh, or to use chains and heavy, stacked horseshoes, all to force them to perform an unnatural, high-stepping gait in competition? This barbaric practice, known as soring, inflicts immense suffering on horses. Despite the horrors, trainers are too often rewarded for this type of performance. [It's time to put an end to this cruelty.]( Thankfully, there is hope on the horizon. The Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act is a crucial bill that would ban the use of devices integral to these cruel soring practices, end the failed system of industry self-policing, strengthen penalties, and make other reforms to finally end this abuse once and for all. This critical bill has just been reintroduced in the Senate so it’s vital that you speak up now.
