    Wil Howe Ranch Hobble Training Video
    The Ultimate Attitude Adjustment
    This video shows you how to hobble train
    properly and safely for both you and your
    horse, and how this form of training not only
    hobbles the horse physically, teaching them
    to give to restraints, but also mentally,
    teaching them patience. This is very effective
    for teaching a horse to stand quietly and
    willingly when tied for grooming, saddling,
    bathing, clipping, doctoring, shoeing, etc.
    when used regularly. Hobble training is also
    a great aid in conditioning a horse to accept
    new or "spooky" situations and over come fear.
    Hobbling is a must when camping in the
    wilderness areas, and ultimately, hobble
    training can save your horse from serious
    injury if he gets caught in a fence or wire.
