Record Covid-19 Outbreak in Bedford County
According to the Shelbyville Times Gazette newspaper (April 23, 2020), “The number of cases of COVID-19 is growing faster in Bedford County than in any other county in Tennessee. Every four days the number doubles in Bedford County, according to a report in The New York Times that lists the figures for every county in the U.S.”

Never mind the covid!! Any human that would deliberately allow their horse to be tortured by this barbaric treatment needs to be imprisoned for severe animal abuse! The agony and disfigurement and injuries are beyond all understanding! You bunch of gutless, black hearted evil , abusers need prison terms of no less than 20 years at hard labor wearing 30 lb boots nailed to your feet!

The Big Lick is Not
An Equestrian Event
Its torture of Magnificent
Horses for stupidity
Burning the frogs of
Horses feet injuring them
Putting Acid or even
Hot sauce to cause pain
To make the Horse
Step more exaggerated
Ridiculous 💰.
To anyone knowing
Horses this
Does damage to the
Back , Legs, and the
General Conformation
If that Show Horse
End the Chain Weighted
Boot as well
This Is Not Entertainment
This is not Horsemanship
