Double Rope Noseband/Tiedown #T3
Price range: $121.00 through $193.00
Description: This Double Rope Noseband/Tiedown #T3 is made of 2 pieces of 3/16 inch nylon rope with a stainless steel dog-bone. Latigo leather covers the nose and is laced on the noseband with rawhide laces. The leather hanger has been edged, hand rubbed, treated with Neatsfoot Oil and hand rubbed again. The buckle is stainless steel. The leather beneath the buckle is stitched together to keep the buckle in place when you adjust the hanger.
How it works: This double rope noseband is wider than any of my single rope nosebands. The width spreads the contact pressure over a larger area of the nose. That, in conjunction with the leather on the noseband, makes this milder than my nosebands that are covered in braided rawhide but it gives a stronger signal than my Leather Noseband/Tiedown.
This tiedown noseband will hold up to years of hard use.
This noseband is available without a tie down strap or with your choice of a 1 inch or 3/4 inch Leather Tie Down Strap #ZG or a Nylon Tiedown Strap #ZH (see dropdown). Also shown on the horse is the Harness Leather Roping Reins with Rawhide Knots #RR24.

Kick Chain #KC1
$67.00Description: The Kick Chain #KC1 is made of doubled and stitched 1 3/4 inch burgundy latigo. It has a leather cuff that fastens to a rectangle to secure it to the fetlock. The rectangle, dee and 12 inch chain are all smooth stainless steel. This kick chain is made to fit the front or back fetlock of any size horse.
How it works: This is an ideal aid for horses that want to kick or paw while in the stall or trailer, or paw while tied up. It can be fastened to either a front or hind fetlock. Most horses will stop pawing or kicking after a short time with the kick chain but a small percentage will need to wear it indefinitely. Generally, one kick chain can be used for a session and then transferred to the other front or back fetlock for a session and the problem will be solved. Occasionally a horse that has been pawing or kicking for a long time will need to wear a kick chain on both legs at the same time.
This is sold as a single kick chain. If you need more than 1 please order additional kick chains in the ”quantity” box.
This is not a tool to be used for teaching horses to not kick at people.
Shown on a horse that is 15.1 hands and 1100 pounds.

Chuck Frasier Sidepull #CP40
$271.00Description: The noseband on this sidepull is crafted from firm 3/8″ nylon rope, which is specially designed to ensure it lays correctly from the first ride. The headstall is made of single ply 3/4″ tight-fibered harness leather with a 5/8″ throat latch. This sidepull comes with slot conchos which are the safest and most secure conchos available. You can see the photos on the left for instructions on slot concho removal and application. The buckles on this Chuck Frasier Sidepull #CP40 are stainless steel with the leather below the buckles stitched to keep them in place.
How it works:
Since this sidepull is considered a bitless bridle, it is designed for use on the adult horse and is a great tool to avoid putting pressure on the horse’s mouth while maintaining plenty of control. With the design of this sidepull, the stainless-steel shanks come against the opposite side of the horse’s face with a direct rein pull so the horse starts his turns without leaning. Put your leg on him once the turn is started to teach him to complete the turn without leaning. The noseband in combination with the dog chain curb provides a strong signal to stop.Watch the video “The Secret to using the Chuck Frasier Sidepull” to learn more.
Shown with ASR3 XX Harness Leather Split Reins.

1″ Hobble #H1
$85.00Description: This 1″ Hobble #H1 is made of doubled and stitched burgundy latigo leather. The buckle is a stainless steel square top roller buckle and the rings are stainless steel. It is small enough to hang on your saddle rear D and stout enough to last for years.
How it works: This hobble works especially well for sacking out colts and patience training when used in combination with the #SL1 Bronc Sideline (shown on horse in picture). Hobbles are very good for teaching patience, trust in the handler, and responding correctly to pressure.
Many horses have been saved from severe injury when caught in wire because they were hobble trained. A horseman may also teach his or her horse to accept hobbles and sidelines so it won’t need to be tied or ground tied. When a horse is hobbled it won’t hurt its mouth with a jerk from a stepped on or looped rein. Hobbles and sidelines can also have a quieting effect on the horse’s mind. Investing in hobbles and their training can have big pay-backs.
To put a set of hobbles on:
1. Starting with the right front leg, wrap the end of the hobble strap clockwise around the leg and lace it through the first metal ring.
2. Lace the strap through the second ring.
3. Run the strap behind the left front leg.
4. Buckle the strap.
For more information on hobbles read my Tack Talk Article Hobble Along.
The first time you use the hobbles on your colt or horse, or while training the horse to accept hobbles, use a wide open sandy area. Do not put hobbles on in a confined space until they accept them easily and well. If you are not familiar with the use of hobbles seek help from a professional who is experienced with their use.

Sliding Running Martingale #CM3
$95.00Description: The Sliding Running Martingale #CM3 has a 3/4 inch adjustable neck strap made of heavy harness leather. Each end of the neck strap is stitched to a stainless steel ring. An adjustable tie down strap is sewn to the center of the neck strap ring on one end and snapped to the cinch on the other end. A second snap with a ring-end is snapped to the opposite side of the center ring of the neck strap. A heavy 1/4 inch nylon cord runs through the ring end of the snap. The nylon cord is 18 inches long and has rein rings at each end. An 1/2 inch latigo leather safety hobble strap with a slit on one end runs from the neck strap through the gullet of the saddle and over the horn. This safety hobble strap prevents the neck strap from sliding to the ears.
How it works: Running martingales are very useful tools to aid horses in learning proper head position as they learn collection. With this martingale, the sliding action of the nylon cord, occurring when the rider pulls on either rein, helps your horse maintain a correct frame as his head turns. If adjusted correctly a martingale does not force the head to stay in any given position but allows the horse a guide for head placement through automatic release of pressure on the reins when correct head placement is achieved. This can make it easier for a horse to reach a more collected frame over time by allowing assistance with head position as the rider teaches the horse to drive from behind.
