The HOBBLE BELT is an old Australian tradition, where drovers of old were light on gear. They liked equipment that served two functions. It is a hobble / belt combo. I am wearing the belt that is also a hobble. An old Australian idea …Every ringer had one!!! They also used it for hobbling the back legs of bulls while they dehorned and castrated them. They wore this belt independent of a belt that held up the pants. The HOBBLE BELT is a prime example of Aussie practicality. It is worn on the person, and can be fitted in the low profile pouch with a 4” blade (knife not included), or it can be used to hobble your horse. Give waist measurement when you order, and specify color brown or black. These are custom made in Malibu, California!
