Heavy equine hobbles are required to control horses' legs when packaging for transport and in some instances, when extricating from confined spaces. Hobbles are carried on Rescue-1, Rescue-2 and Rescue/Transport-11. They are stowed in red bags along with heavy straps.
Rescue-1: The hobbles are stored in the red bag in compartment No. 5.
Rescue-2: the hobbles are stored in the red bag in compartment No. 6.
Hobbles are also useful when rolling a horse over due to time spent down or to load onto the Rescue Glide.
For more information regarding the application of heavy equine hobbles, please visit Technical Sheet #14,
Packaging a Downed Horse for Transport.
