2yo Trotters with Hobbles
« on: Today at 11:29:21 AM »
Watching Q from Scioto and reminded of this past Saturday and seeing how many 2yo trotters already have hobbles.

Thoughts ? Should they be allowed ?

Thinking about it I probably could make an argument for either side.

For them - helps them get to the races faster - better for breeders

Against them - If the horse isn't balanced while still growing, let them grow into their gate - have trainers fine tune their horse

Shoe'en and balancing has become a lost art in the rigging of today's trotters. 90% of today's trotting trainers would be lost if they were to ban the use of trotting hopples!
