Second national conference will highlight inhumane treatment of gaited horses

The Friends of Sound Horses have announced plans for their second national conference to end soring of Tennessee Walking Horses and other gaited horse breeds. "The purpose of the conference is to bring together a wide complement of experts, research and resources to address alternatives and solutions so that gaited horses do not continue to face this abuse in the future," FOSH says.

The conference will be held March 20-21 in Gainesville, Fla. and is hosted by the University of Florida School of Veterinary Medicine. It is designed for owners of any gaited horse breed as well as individuals concerned about treatment of horses. The conference hopes to educate people about the inhumane treatment of gaited horses.
