Agri Health Nylon Economy Hobble with Chain & Swivel
Description
Agri Health Nylon Economy Hobble with Chain & Swivel
The Agri Health Nylon Economy Hobble is a basic leg restraint made from hard-wearing nylon webbing, joined by a chain with a swivel fitting. It is designed for experienced handlers, yards and smallholdings who need a simple, functional restraint for controlled handling in the stable, crush or handling area.
Best for handlers who already know how to use hobbles safely and want straightforward, no-frills equipment rather than a heavily engineered set. The nylon straps sit against the leg instead of bare metal, and the swivel lets the chain rotate as the animal shifts weight.

- Check the fit and the animal's reaction, and stay with the animal throughout.
- Remove the hobble as soon as the task is finished, then clean and dry it before storage.
FAQ
What is a hobble used for?
A hobble is a restraint that limits leg movement while an animal is handled or treated. It should only be used by handlers trained and competent in restraint work, and never on an unattended animal.
What is this hobble made from?
The straps are nylon webbing, joined by a chain with a swivel fitting.
What does the swivel do?
The swivel allows the chain to rotate as the animal moves weight from one leg to the other, which helps stop the chain building in a twist.
Will it fit a horse, pony or cob?
Animals vary considerably in limb size, so always check the fit on your own animal before relying on the hobble. If the straps sit too tightly, rub, or cannot be fastened comfortably, do not use it.
How do I clean and store it?
Brush off mud and bedding, rinse the nylon in cool water and hang to dry away from direct heat. Keep the chain and swivel dry to reduce corrosion and store somewhere dry.
When should I replace it?
Retire the hobble immediately if you find frayed webbing, cut straps, worn or broken stitching, or a distorted or damaged chain link or swivel.
