Soring is the unethical and illegal1 practice of deliberately inflicting pain to exaggerate the leg motion of horses to gain an unfair advantage in the show ring. The chest-high stride achieved by soring is known in the industry as the "big lick".

The PAST Act would make soring a horse flatly illegal. Right now, it is illegal only to transport, show or auction a horse that's been sored.
