Making the Gait: Abuse and Corruption in the Tennessee Walking Horse Industry, is the true story of the sored Tennessee Walking Horse. Chemically burned and tortured for the last six decades, the high-stepping Tennessee Walking Horse show horse has suffered too much, for too long. In the name of competition, sore-horse trainers are willing to experiment with any form of abuse to produce the coveted Big Lick; to make the gait. Making the Gait tells the story of the sore Tennessee Walking Horse through messages of hope. These are stories about horses that have been saved, and about people who courageously stand up to the intimidation of the Tennessee Mafia. |
