I want to buy another set, but have no idea what they’re really called.
roller chains.
Never saw them called kick chains. Around here they were weighted rollers for high action horses. Weight added extra motion, for high and bigger strides. You might check with some 5-gaited horse supply vendors to buy them.
Yeah. Kicking chains have smaller chains that dangle over the hoof so they annoy the horse when he kicks or paws. These are technically action chains.
Those are roller chains … ankle chain to encourage ‘Action’ … used while working the horse / sometimes left on front legs while in the stall too. * purchased in pairs
Kicking chains are = leather ankle cuff / often with a fleece cover …securely attached is a length of chain that discourages the horse from kicking the stall walls • used in the stall • no while in motion •
- the chain snaps back and hits the horse when he kicks out • or when it paws •
usually purchased as a single.
roller chains. Fennels, World Champion and most saddleseat places have them. Those are the things that Saddleseat people are accused of being abusive and harming their horses. Insert rolly eyes.
Well #TIL. I know what regular kick chains are. But was given these by a friend to try on my stall bound horse several years ago. They work like a charm as kick chains.
