Looking for info on the australian cowboy hobble belt. Saw 1 quickly here in Arizona and didn't get to study it. Love the concept. It was aprox., 1 3/4 inch width, belt with rectangular hardware pieces seperating the belt straps. Worn around the waist and when needed as a horse hobble is wrapped into itself to form hobble. Great idea. Need details if it's a common item downunder. Thx holstrmkr

Hey,
I have rough patterns for these style of belts somewhere if you want to have a go at it yourself. You will have to adjust the measurements a bit but i can write out the design for you. They are fairly popular and surprisingly practical!

"stockmans hobbles" i think they are called.
If you dont want to make them, i also have a name of a skilled craftsman who can manufacture it to your specs.

Hmm, i cant find the pattern but i will rewrite it and get it to you by the end of the month.
They are called dinnertime hobbles and they were originally made with rings and not the welded squares.
I buy the welded squares thru Tandy. (yes they are pricy, but it evens out the wear.) I will get back to you ASAP when i finish the pattern.
