PROTECT HORSES FROM THE CRUELTY OF SORING Horse Soring is the intentional infliction of pain in order to exaggerate the high-stepping gait of horses. The Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act, H.R.693 / S.1007, will ban the use of devices implicated in the practice of soring, strengthen penalties, and make other reforms needed to finally end this torture.

Federal oversight is necessary to set consistent and enforceable standards for racehorses nationwide. It's time to bring an end to the rampant abuse that's costing thousands of horses their lives every year.

HORSE TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ACTDouble-deck trailers are designed for livestock such as cattle and hogs, not horses. The Horse Transportation Safety Act (H.R.1400) will prohibit the hauling of horses on livestock trailers containing one level on top of the other. Hauling horses in double-deck trailers is dangerous and inhumane.
