THE PROCESS:
- Begin with a one-legged hobble to give the horse a sense of restriction
- Advance to the two-legged hobble and give the horse time to adjust and relax
- Introduce the three-legged hobble and calmly flag the horse to re-enforce what he
has learned in the previous steps.
If done properly, and by giving the horse the time he needs to adjust to this experience,
you'll find that the amount of stress for both of you will be minimal.
