Western leather hobbles are genuine leather rings attached to the horse's lower legs. Short stainless steel chains connect each ring, allowing the horse to walk carefully and comfortably while preventing it from running away. Western leather hobbles are ideal for keeping a pack of horses close by when walking long distances. Some riders and trainers use them to control wild horses.
Fleece Lined Western Leather Hobbles have thick inner fleece linings that help keep protect the horse's legs from chafing or being cut by the leather rings. These linings are heavily stitched onto the leather bands.
Felt Lined Western Leather Hobbles are lined with two layers of thin and heavily-stitched felt. They are cheaper but protect the horse’s legs effectively.
