1" double ply and stitched figure 8 hobble. This type of hobble prevents your horse from pawing their standing area when tied to a highline. All back country horsefolks are concerned with keeping our wilderness areas safe and as undisturbed as possible. No one wants their horse to cause destruction and this is a good way to prevent that! Note: For best results, try hobbles on your horse at home in a safe, contained area before using on the trail.
