- Oppose the so-called Fair Access to Agriculture Disaster Programs Act HR 2156/S 984
- Oppose the “Food Security and Farm Protection Act,” S. 1326
- The Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act – H.R. 1661 and S. 775
- Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act – H.R. 1684 Soring—intentionally injuring the feet of Tennessee Walking horses to produce an exaggerated gait—has been outlawed since passage of the Horse Protection Act of 1970. Yet some abusive trainers still subject horses to this inhumane practice through the use of blistering agents—mustard oil, diesel fuel, and kerosene—as well as through mechanical means—the use of foreign objects inside shoes, and the use of heavy chains that irritate chemically treated tissue. Soring causes excruciating pain to horses when their feet touch the ground, causing them to lift their feet higher than normal. The Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act would strengthen existing law by ending industry self-policing, banning certain devices, and generating stiffer penalties for trainers who sore their horses.
