Hobbles

[SmokinP]

I'd like to try my hand at making a set of hobbles.

The style I'd like to make is shown in this thread :

I'd appreciate any help with pattern source, materials, construction details, etc.

Thanks in advance, Al

Hi Al...........those are hobbles I made. I'd be glad to help...........what specifically would you like to know? JW

JW,

First let me say, excellent work.

I suppose I need to know everything. I'm looking to make a set for my own use. Overall length, width at widest point, strap width, slot to buckle, distance between slots.

Leather weight?

Maybe if you got a pattern we could do some trading? You can email me at Smokin P Ranch

Sure will appreciate your help.

Here are some we make,

10/12 oz harness leather backed with 7/8 latigo, they are very strong and durable. Sorry, I forgot to get measurements for you but I can send a pattern for you to compare to any others you get.

Thank you gentleman. I believe between the pictures and the information you both provided I can try and get me a set made. I can only hope they approach the quality that you all have shown.

Again, thank you.

Not sure if anyone else does this, but I put a layer of rawhide in the middle where the slots are to reinforce it. Chris
