sometimes hobbling is a neccessary evil. i really hate to ever do this but with some injuries, this is the only way to keep them still. Also for some troubled trailering horses, you have to do what you have to do. I have seen too many serious injuries even death when you try to be nice as oppose to safe

Pros: nicely made

Cons: hate to use

i don't like to see hobbles used. our horses don't have to have them.

Pros: none

Cons: none

there are too many other effective, less severe methods for managing your horse to justify the use of hobbles.

Pros: n/a

Cons: there is never a good reason to use hobbles

DANGEROUS, for the horse and the user.

Pros: none

Cons: dangerous
