Jillian Michaels has thrown her support behind legislation to protect horses from abuse.
H.R. 6388, the Horse Protection Act Amendments of 2012, is designed to strengthen the Horse Protection Act passed in 1970, a measure intended to stop “soring” – the “deliberate infliction of pain to gaited horses in order to produce an unnatural high-stepping gait for competitions” according to the Humane Society of the United States.
