For a safe and sturdy restraint, hobbles are a great solution for your horse.
Things to Consider:
Materials -- Hobbles come in a variety of materials. Select one that is durable and long-lasting. Those made of leather should have good, solid stitching. Metal hobbles should be cleaned and made of a material that will not rust.
Training -- Hobbles can be difficult for a horse to get accustomed to at first. It is best to spend some short periods of time for a few days with the horse wearing the hobble to get them comfortable.
Easy Tying -- Hobbles work great for tying down your horse, especially when you're out in the field.
