I h...Yeah, aren't you lovin' her articles? I had just a single hobble so started using it using her article for instruction. My horse is used to hand-grazing on a long lead rope, is used to stepping on the lead rope without freaking. (IMO this should be done first, before attempting hobbles. Your horse should quietly attempt to figure it out when he steps on his lead rope...) But anyway since we had that done, I put a hobble on one leg and put another lead rope on it, then took him out to graze. When he tried to move that foot, I held onto the lead rope so it could move only a few inches. Took no time at all. After a few days of that I put the lead rope on the hobble and then wrapped it once around the other front foot and hung onto it as he moved around grazing. If he freaked I would have just let go.<br /><br />Worked great! I have also just ordered a set of hobbles so I will have two of them!<br /><br />BTW: The fighting while being tied -- yeah you have to work on that one!!<br /><br />KTKThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01922111866154597984noreply@blogger.com
