The USDA is taking steps to strengthen regulations in order to put an end to horse soring. This move, which assigns responsibility for inspector screening and training to APHIS, is expected to have a significant impact on the walking horse industry. Some people feel that this change will negatively affect the industry, and Congressman John Rose, who is a member of the House Ag Committee, recently appeared on RFD-TV to discuss the new rule with Tammi Arender. They talked about the potential implications for the walking horse industry and explored what the next steps might be in light of this decision.
