Do you know what a Tennessee Walking Horse is?

No, what's a Tennessee Walking Horse?

They start these horses off when they're colts, and they put these really heavy weights on their front two feet, and they make those horses walk with those for years and years and years and years. Even when they're adults, they take the weights off the feet of the horse, and the Tennessee Walking Horse walks like this, and their front feet are just going up and down.

It's one of the most impressive things you've ever seen, and it's because they finally took the shackles off that horse, and that horse is like, "Look at me now!" I think it's possibly somewhat cruel, honestly, to do that to those horses.

But the same thing would be how I felt; I could still walk. I could still run; you're just weighed down with it. The second you break away from that and the chains and the shackles are broken, now you're free. You almost don't know what to do with it because you're not used to being able to do what you want to do and say what you want to say without somebody trying to restrain you.
