My son hobbled an ol' sorrel horse we had one time, by the hindlegs. He could run faster in hobbles than he could without them. Laughing


True Exclamation
At the Track we would often teach "Stright Away" Horses (1/4 Horses) to run with hobbles on Exclamation It makes SOME faster Cowboy

I just snap a lead rope to the hobbles and let it drag to stop them from running.

Hobbling the back legs has it's time and place and I've used it often Exclamation

Some of the places we go I want a horse to be able to defend it self with it's back legs until I get there.
