Yes, I know that everybody who worked on the TWHNC thing would get a blue million nasty messages saying they supported horse abuse. P I think there's abuse in EVERYTHING because there are stupid people in everything, but I don't believe the animal rights groups' agenda that every horse is sored, every barn is bad, every trainer is crooked, because they just use real cases of abuse to further their goals of animal liberation. There is soring is saddle seat, but there's also rollkur in dressage, tail deadening and draw reins in western pleasure, etc etc etc. But I will look into the world/congress thing and also Scottsdale.
