Mar 16, 2015 — As a result of this petition and the public speaking out against the “Big Lick” show at the NC State Fair, the Tennessee Walking horse “performance/Big Lick” shows have been cancelled! The NC State Fair and Department of Agriculture responded very well by quickly reviewing their policies, reviewing the public’s feedback, and banning the Big Lick classes from the fair permanently! Now, only sound, natural flat shod horses are allowed to show at the Fair. (Sound is another way of saying “humane” in the horse world, and flat shod means a horse is displaying its natural gait without the heavy weights/stacks used in Big Lick shows.)

Thank you to everyone who signed this petition and stood up for the horses! YOU made this happen!
