This prevents excessive movement, twisting, or sliding of the bit in the horse's mouth, which leads to increased stability, clearer communication, and improved control for the rider. It's particularly beneficial for neck reining and helps horses transition smoothly to leverage bits by acclimating them to pressure under the chin.Is this hobble durable? What is Latigo leather?Absolutely, durability is a cornerstone of this product. It's crafted from high-quality Latigo leather, renowned for its exceptional strength, resilience, and suppleness. Latigo leather typically undergoes a combination of chrome and vegetable tanning, followed by oiling or waxing. This unique process provides an ideal balance of durability, flexibility, and water resistance, making it perfect for equestrian tack that endures demanding use. While robust, please note that due to its processing, some Latigo leather may cause minor discoloration on light-colored clothing or skin due to its porosity and strong fatliquoring, especially when new.How does this hobble improve my horse's comfort and communication?By preventing the bit from moving around excessively or pinching, the hobble significantly enhances your horse's comfort, leading to less distraction and a more relaxed acceptance of the bit. A stable bit allows for more direct and consistent cues, improving the horse's understanding of your aids and resulting in clearer communication during rides.How do I properly attach and adjust the hobble?The hobble attaches to the bit rings in front of where the reins connect. For optimal performance, it should be adjusted to be approximately the same width as the bit itself, or slightly longer. This ensures it remains securely in place without being too tight, which could restrict bit movement, or too loose, which would diminish its stabilizing effect.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): BHTLInvest in the ultimate stable bit solution.
