Thumbs up if you thought he was gonna put a plank between the horses legs and hit it with a sledge.

Allot of horses in the English riding system aren't hobbled, if people in the industry would look at the facts before accusing hobbeling as cruel, then thousands of horses who've had their feet caught might of been saved.

Great Video, Nice horse BTW! :D

Fucking bulshit ! to the coment from dodgebrawl, it is cruel, and why not just tye the horse to a fence asshole!!

@borgomozzano I guess you would spend more time preparing that nervous horse now wouldn't you. Personally , I think it is one of the best things you can teach a horse and it makes a better broke horse and could in fact save it's life. I would not recommend someone who doesn't have solid horsemanship skills doing this unless they are accompanied by an experienced horseman.

I wish I could have seen how you tied the rope between the legs, but your body blocked everything you were doing. I could see how you undid the knot on the left foot, but watching the actual tieing from the front, would have been very useful. Thanks for doing this. Nice mare.

All of my horse are hobble broke, I use cotton to start em so they don't panic and get hurt! It's just too handy to pass up, they learn some patience and as others have said they learn to stand still when something is about their legs instead of panicking, one of my mares got tangled in a neighbors discarded wire and instead of fighting and hurting herself she just stood quietly. Save her legs and a bad wreck!

yep very safe... poor horse :S

[DeathKitty123456]

the horse could have fell and broke her neck... yep safe -.-

[borgomozzano]

Very calm trainer but I personally do not agree with what he is doing. A nervous horse could easily break its legs.

@Schnuddelchen3 Was macht ihr Pferd, wenn es ein Bein irgendwo verfängt?

Diese Übung hilft meines Erachtens dem Pferd, in einem Ernstfall sich von schweren Verletzungen zu schützen, weil es die Situation schon kennt.

Was sind ihre Argumente gegen diese Übung?
