Nice information my friend
Thank you.
Simpletons are always amazed that my horse ground ties. They tell me they want to teach their horse to do it and ask me how I did it. Well, I am sure there are lots of ways to train it, I start off with hobbles. They hear me mention hobbles and look at me like I just slept with their husband.
yeah no kidding, they all want them broke but they dont want to do broke horse stuff.
Just pulled a random video to tell you guys.. I appreciate your time and energy..
The tipof the day is funny too me because my wife teases me about wearing suspenders and a belt. First off the belt is solely there because i carry a small belt knife instead of a pocket knife because i loose them all the time. Also you never know when you need a strap. One day i was taking the wife out for a steak and i look in the mirror and my buckskin mare is literally chasing the pickup down the driveway. I jumped out got her caught up and looped suspenders around her neck and rode her home like that. My wife has never said another word about the suspenders since then
I wore suspenders when I was a kid because all the old men did, I got them hung up in my saddle horn getting off a wasp and never put them on again lol, live and live threw it and learn
For quite a few years I wouldn’t ever tie my horse to a rail. Instead I would hobble them with their lead rope just outside the tackroom door and once saddled I could then tie them to the trailer, rail, fence post etc.
I’m a firm believer in hobbling them as often as possible purely for the reason of keeping them accustomed to having their feet restraining. There’s a lot of old down barbed wire strung around and it can get pretty ugly at times
aint that the truth
+1 on the hobbling with the lead rope/get down rope. Heck it's there. Might as well use it!
@@WesternWandererJM The lead ropes my wife braids for me have a ring braided in. For one they outlast the halters and don't need to be cut off and for two you always have hobbles or get down or gate rope or leash or....
@@HorsemanshipAsAnArt i hear ya man! my get down is a 4 strand braid made from a couple old 3 strand nylon ropes. I tried to make another recently and I couldn't remember the braid. .
@@WesternWandererJM from left to right take the farthest left strand go around the back and under one over one then the same from right to left.
I bought figure 8s and a set that both sides have the tab. Both leather. My muke really tried to get free for 10 minuets or so then he started to chill. Ive had horses since a kid but hobbling was never a thing. Some people want them to learn to walk to graze in back country ......id rather use them for standing. Depends on what you want them for. Sheesh.
Im just gonna stick with figure eights.
there are many kinds and many ways
Thank you for another down to the earth presentation!
Thank you
I like those hobbles you made with the rope that everybody wants to steal. Is that a monkeys fist knot on the end? Couldn’t tell. Great tutorial. Thank you.
just an overhand knot
Very good safety tip - Everyone should know that 😅
glad you liked it
Interested in your fast hobbles

Can't remember how i got a hold of you the last time.. get a hold of me @775 to ride 421 my horse o457 a few months
ok
Ever make a pair of old cowboy gunny sack (burlap) hobbles? Very good video! Thanks for the tips. 🙏
yes I have. they work good but burlap is hard to come by anymore
I like the idea of wearing hobbles as a belt. Any idea what brand of leather hobbles those are? I want to make sure they’ll fit through belt loops.
I hade them made but they are inch and a half rings, fit everything but Dickies slacks
I can't tell you how handy they have been over the year, hobbling horses, tying down cows, tying shut gates, holding my britches up...
Thanks
thank you
How long is the rope you use for your patent pending innovative design?
Im not sure exactly. I use my waist to measure. I would guess 40inches
Could a fella buy a set of those hobbles you make please sir?
