Be careful with these. I tried a mare last year that HAS to be hobbled (all 4 legs) or she will kick in the trailer, even while alone. Her back legs were thickened horribly permanently from someone using kicking chains on her for this behavior.
I'm not saying don't try them, just be careful and weigh the behavior, treatment and outcome carefully. |

My sister used these on one of her horses that just wouldn't stop trashing a stall, ending result??? He suddenly had the best set of manners out of any of the horses and didn't even think about kicking in the stall again. They do have their purpose. |

| My horse digs holes to China. They didn't work on her. Although the only thing that does work on her is a shock collar around her leg...
You could try that though if you're willing to watch the behavior and apply a shock when he kicks. |
