Why Cowboys Hobble Their Horses

Hobbling horses dates back to at least the ancient Egyptians. And while today hobbles are most closely associated with Western culture and their use by working cowboys to restrain horses in lieu of trees or other tie devices, hobbles are also an effective training tool for horses. This week's episode talks about the benefits for both horse and human of being purposely uncomfortable. And of course, we’ll have the cowboy glossary word of the week. So why not ride along?

Stetson and his iconic "cowboy's" hat. And of course, we’ll have the cowboy glossary word of the week. So why not ride along?
