FAQ
What is the Agri Health Heavy Duty Leather Hobble made from?
It is made from heavy duty leather with an adjustable leather leg strap and a heavy chain.
Is the hobble adjustable?
Yes. The leather leg strap is adjustable, so it can be set to suit different leg sizes rather than being fixed to one measurement.
Who is this hobble suitable for?
It is intended for experienced farmers and stock handlers using it as part of a safe livestock handling routine on a farm or yard.
Can an animal be left unattended while hobbled?
No. Hobbled animals should always be supervised, and the hobble should be removed as soon as the task is finished.
How should the leather be cared for?
Wipe the strap clean after use, let it dry naturally away from direct heat, and apply a suitable leather conditioner from time to time to keep the fibres supple.
How do I know when to replace it?
Inspect the strap, buckle and chain before each use and withdraw the hobble from service if you find cracking, stretching, damaged stitching or worn chain links.
