FAQ
What is a hobble used for?
A hobble links an animal's legs to restrict how far it can step, helping it stand steady while you carry out routine handling, inspection or treatment tasks under supervision.
How wide are the leg straps?
The nylon leg straps are 4" wide and adjustable, spreading pressure over a broader area than a narrow strap.
Will it fit different sized animals?
Yes. The straps are adjustable, so the same hobble can be used across animals with different leg sizes within a yard or herd.
What does the swivel do?
The swivel sits between the chain and the straps and allows rotation, which helps stop the heavy chain twisting up as the animal shifts its weight.
How should I clean and store it?
Brush off mud, rinse with clean water if needed and let the hobble dry naturally away from direct heat. Store it dry and out of sunlight to protect the nylon fibres and the metalwork.
Where is it made?
This hobble is made in Ireland by Agri Health.
