Location: Freestone TX | They worked on one of my horses, and not on the other. It depends on the horse. I don't remember what brand they were.......they're red. |

Location: WI | I have 2 horses that paw, both wear bracelets most times when trailering. One of those horses walks all night in the stall and mashes her poop balls into a million pieces. I put the paw bracelets on and they help immensely! We started making a heavier weight bracelets for the horses that don't respond to the light ones. Not much difference in weight but it seems to do the trick. 50$ pair and 7.00 for shipping. |

^^^ agreed. Cheap and easy. We used these for certain horses on the track. Front leg for those that paw, back leg for kickers. Worked the majority of the time. |

Location: North Dakota | Tried the red ones on one of mine at a clinic where he was spending most of his time digging a hole in the ground and they worked pretty dang good. I've seen where you can take a horse shoe and bend it open to use for a pawing bracelet....think I need to get a set of them together again.... |

The Nylon collar and the chain wrapped around the foot? Is that what you are saying? sorry I may have read too far into what you were saying... |

| I just rounded out some horse shoes on the anvil and brought the ends of the shoes in close enough to go over their cannon bones, but not fall of their ankles. I use them for pawing, and for kicking in the trailer.
I should paint them red and sell them for $20! |

Thanks. Good information. The red ones are $50. Converting the horse shoes may be more in my price range. lol I did also see a video that talked about when they paw when eating (like mare does) and then you feed them (like I do) you are basically trainin them to paw. Geez. |

| Dunno, but hobbling sure does 
And yes, I will hobble in the trailer. It has been probably 20 years since I've owned a horse I needed to hobble, but I sure believe in it! |

Or steel horse shoes! Many, many years ago. I needed some. My farrier fit two shoes to slip on cannon bone and slide down. Worked like a charm!

No, you put a dog collar on the fetlock. You attach 12-16 inch length of chain to the dog leash clip. The chain just drags the ground, but when they paw, or kick, the chain whacks their legs. They stop quick. |

| I have a horse that kicks really bad in the trailer. I made bracelets out of heavy logging chain and a snap link that I bought at tractor supply I think they are 8 chain links. They are super heavy and as long as she has them on she doesn't kick. They were pretty cheap to make. |

Location: Smack Dab in the Middle | My horse shoer rounded up a pair of "take-offs" and got the spacing just right for my yearling brat. FREE
They don't make her stop completely but they sure do slow her down. Kinda depends on how mad she thinks she is. Kinda reminds me, I need to have him make me a new set since she's grown...I haven't had them on her for a while and she's back to pawing at feeding time. |
