False Standards of Beauty

By Humane Press Bureau

WHY do horses which are checked very high toss their heads even higher?—Because the check-rein prevents them from lowering their heads, and the agony of their position forces them to twitch in a vain effort to relieve themselves. Passers-by think the tossing of the head a sign of life and healthy activity. It is a proof of torture. High check-reins cause injury to the neck muscles, to the lungs, to the blood-vessels, to the nerves, and even to the knees.—Humane Press Bureau.
