Soring practitioners should be banned for life from keeping or riding horses

a calm disposition
is rewarded by
those riders who seek
many ribbons
not shy
of being abusive
of hurting a soul
mustard oil,diesel oil
on the bulbs of the heel
burning and blistering
how can they feel
this justifiable
on a soul who
gives them its best
every test
it wins through
using, caustic substances
to accentuate gaits
is the vilest of methods
the most cruel of traits
the Soring and scarring
then covered by dye
horses hate
standing still
being tortured
thats why
and its carcinogenic
so evil, so wrong
and its just about ego
and ribbons, a gong
for the rider, the accolades
dare I now say
should throttle
those people
who get gongs this way.
