The document is a presentation by Katie Oliver and Ensley Mason asking students to help stop the practice of horse soring by signing a petition, donating money, and spreading awareness of the issue. Horse soring involves painful techniques used to encourage horses to lift their legs higher for competitions and the "Big Lick" gait, and it can include chemical burns, beatings, and ankle weights. Students who collect the most donations will receive monster cupcakes as a prize.
