Hobbles

These are a new item that I just started making thanks to borrowing the idea from a fella down Texas way. They are tied from a single piece of climber's rope and have the traditional jaquima's fiador knot as the centerpiece of the cuffs. Sliding ring knots made of parachute cord keep the cuffs snugged up. These are a traditional vaquero style and are not meant to be used as training hobbles. They should only be used on a well hobble broke horse. So please only use them on an experienced horse. Available for immediate delivery - email for details.
