Is there a cause for celebration because the Big Lick is finally outlawed?
The USDA has issued a final rule outlawing action devices, pads, self-inspection, and a whole lot more. To our understanding, on February 1, 2025 pads (unless therapeutic under the direction of a veterinarian) and action devices such as chains etc will be outlawed! This would be such a tremendous win for the horses and finally put to rest the cruel, barbaric practice of soring horses!

Clant Seay, aka BillyGoBoy - Citizens Against Big Lick, who championed for many years to end Big Lick abuse, is unfortunately no longer alive to see his work become such a tremendous success, but if, and we caution that it is a big if, this final rule is allowed to stand, February 1, 2025, will go down in history as the day Tennessee Walking Horse abuse is no longer over looked.

We are cautiously optimistic this time will be successful. The Big Lick industry is very wealthy, is very politically connected, and has a lot of lawyers. They are, as you can imagine, panicking that this year’s celebration will be the last show that is allowed to show Big Lick. They have retained a large legal group to fight this new rule, so we are, again, cautiously optimistic. The horses deserve a win, and this would be a huge win.

I'll be in the barn.
When people have come to visit over the years
they commonly hear from me "I'll be in the barn."
When life gets hard I'll be in the barn.
When things are just right I'll be in the barn.
When the sun shines
The rain falls
Or snow covers the ground
I'll be in the barn.
If things seem to be falling apart or if I'm
celebrating the simple things, I'll be in the barn.
When I'm looking for answers or trying to clear my mind, I'll be in the barn.
When I'm looking for myself, I'll be in the barn.
If I'm working or trying to relax, I'll be in the barn.
Even when I'm not in the barn my mind drifts there, I find myself thinking about being in the barn...
It's where I keep my riches
All my wins and my failures
Every one of my hopes, dreams, hardships and
memories.
You can find them all in the barn, buried in the hay, hiding under a halter, spilling out of the feed bins,or glimmering with dust in the evening light.
I may be covered in dust, dirt, feed, hair, and hay, smell of sweat and manure, and sometimes there may be blood or tears but I'll be there. I'll be in the barn.
So if your wondering where to find me, I'll be in the barn. If I'm not there I promise I'm on my way.

Recent studies conducted by the Institute of Heart-Math provide a clue to explain the two-way ′′healing′′ that occurs when we're close to horses.
According to researchers, the heart has an electromagnetic field larger than the brain: a magnetometer can measure the energy field of the heart that radiates from 2.4 meters to 3 meters around the human body.
While this is certainly significant, perhaps more impressive than the electromagnetic field projected by the heart of a horse is five times larger than that of a human being (imagine an electromagnetic sphere around the horse) and it can influence straight into our own heart rate.
Horses are also likely to have what science has identified as a "coherent′′ heart rate (heart rate pattern) that explains why we can feel better when we're close to them. Studies have found a coherent heart pattern or HRV to be a solid measure of well-being and consistent with emotional states of calm and joy-that is, we exhibit such patterns when we feel positive emotions.
A coherent heart pattern is indicative of a system that can recover and adapt to stressful situations very efficiently. Many times, we just need to be in the presence of horses to feel a sense of well-being and peace.
In fact, research shows that people experience many physiological benefits by interacting with horses, including lower blood pressure and heart rate, higher beta-endorphins (neurotransmitters acting as pain suppressors), decreased stress levels, decreased feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, better social working; and greater feelings of empowerment, confidence, patience and self-efficacy.
