Extreme Veteran Posts: 381	I'm ready to try some kick chains on my horse while trailering. Pawing bracelets on the back feet don't work. Do YOU put them on above hock or at pastern??

Texas Lone Star Posts: 5318 Location: where ever my L/Q trl is parked	I've tried the bracelets and they didn't work... tried hobbles they worked for a bit then the horse figured out he could just make little pawing steps. I have a mare that paws when I go out to feed, she is in a 14X14 stall...I'm thinking of gettng a training shock collar for dogs and put it on just above the fetlock, try that.

Elite Veteran Posts: 851 Location: West Texas	I would much prefer sideline hobbles. This is what we use. Really bad kicking horses have a tendency to hurt themselves and the pain of chains and the bracelets can make them actually kick harder. I strongly believe that sideline hobbles are both safer and more effective. Edited by Tdove 2015-11-04 11:13 AM

Elite Veteran Posts: 851 Location: West Texas	Here are good quality sideline hobbles. Horses can move around in them but they cannot kick. The best for a horse that kicks in a trailer. http://www.cowhorsesupply.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=86 Also a picture of how they are worn.
