Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I ensure a proper fit with the Professional's Choice Handy Hobble With Swivel?

The strap should be snug enough around the fetlock so it won't slide over the hoof, but loose enough to avoid rubbing. Since they are made from high-quality harness leather, they will break in and soften over time, molding perfectly to your horse's leg shape.

Q: Are these sold as a single hobble or a pair?

These are sold as a complete pair, including two adjustable leather leg straps and the heavy-duty swivel chain connector.

Q: Why is the swivel feature important?

The swivel is a vital safety feature that allows the chain to rotate freely. This prevents the chain from binding or kinking, which reduces the risk of the horse tripping or panicking if they move their legs while restrained.
