I don't really know anything about breeding either, but from the few texts I've read about hobbling, I got the impression that it was simply a precaution used to protect the stallion, and I can't really blame stallion owners for requiring mare owners to use them. That being said, I agree with the people on here who have said it's fine as long as the mare is fully trained and accustomed to being hobbled before she is bred, and is receptive to the stallion. I am completely against using the practice as a way to force the mare to stand while the stallion mounts her if she is not receptive.
