http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenness...g_Horse#Soring Usually involves burning or blistering with chemicals with the goal of making them pick their feet up in a snappy looking way. Sometimes they use other techniques to achieve the same results. I didn't realize (but am not surprised) that they sometimes use abuse to train horses not to respond to the pain so it passes inspection.
