What is a big lick?
In equestrian circles, "big Lick" refers to the gait of a horse that involves exaggerated movement of the front two legs. The usual horse breed favored for this is a Tennessee Walker. To produce the gait, special shoes are added and a practice called "soring" is inflicted on the horse. This is considered by many to be intentional animal abuse and there have been efforts to outlaw and repudiate the practice.
"See that guy over there? he wants to enter the Big Lick category at the horse show, so he purposely hurts his horse so it will favor the sores on it's legs and prance a certain way."

A big lick - what is it?
An abusive, cruel, inhumane equine activity where Tennessee Walking horses are forced to perform an unnatural gait. This gait is a walk with extremely exaggerated steps. The horse picks its hooves up very high each time it steps. This is achieved by applying up to five different chemicals to the fetlock area and distressing the skin, causing permanent damage. The trainer then ties cement shoes to the horse's hooves, weighing them down so that whenever the animal takes a step, it throws up its leg in pain. Bandages are applied over the chemicals to make sure they seep into the horse's skin. Huge chains are wrapped around the fetlocks. The poor horse goes through excruciating pain to entertain the masses. The damage done to their hooves makes it near impossible to stand up after lying down, which frustrates the unforgiving trainer, causing them to whip and beat the innocent, beautiful creature until it stands. Sometimes, the hooves affected by the weights and chemicals fall off of the leg. The Big Lick is a horrid, harsh thing that is illegal, yet still goes on.
