Help Pass Federal Legislation to ​​End the Abuse of Horse Soring


Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act
H.R.693 / S.1007

Horse Soring is pain-inducing techniques used to exaggerate the "Big Lick" high-stepping gait of Tennessee Walking horses. In addition to the use of heavy weights and stacks, caustic agents commonly used on the horses' limbs include mustard oil, diesel fuel and kerosene. This intentional torture is all done for the sake of winning at competitive horse shows. 

The Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act, H.R.693 / S.1007, will amend the Horse Protection Act to end the industry’s failed system of self-policing, ban the use of devices implicated in the practice of soring, strengthen penalties, and make other reforms needed to finally end this torture. In July 2019, the PAST Act (H.R.693) cleared the U.S. House with a landslide vote of 333-96. This victory is a monumental step forward in getting the bill signed into law. In order for the legislation to be successfully passed through the U.S. Senate, amendments have been offered to secure its passage.

SUGGESTED SCRIPT FOR CONTACTING YOUR SENATORS
As a constituent, I urge (your Senator's name) to cosponsor the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act, S.1007. 

Despite it being against the law, horse soring persists. American horses are being abused every day by their “trainers” just for the sake winning at competitive Walking Horse shows. If passed into law, the PAST Act would amend the Horse Protection Act, not only strengthening the law, but would also eliminate the self-policing of this corrupted cottage industry.  

The humane treatment of animals is an important issue to me, and protecting them through federal laws is paramount. Horse soring is an egregious form of animal cruelty and it shouldn’t be tolerated in the United States. I urge you to support the newly proposed amendments made to the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act, S.1007. With the revisions made to the bill, we can successfully pass this legislation into federal law.

​Thank you
