Biothane Hobble Sideline for Backcountry Horse Control – Blue Creek Outfitting

This biothane hobble sideline is designed for safe, reliable horse control in the backcountry. It allows your horse to move and graze while preventing it from leaving camp, making it a trusted system for overnight use on trail and pack trips.

Sidelines are standard equipment for many outfitters and are commonly used on the trail to prevent horses from wandering or running off overnight.

Some horses require training to get used to being sidelined. A soft rope and bowline knot slightly longer than the sideline can be used during the training process, and the horse should be monitored closely to prevent rubbing or discomfort.

For best results, all horses in a group should be sidelined together. Horses that are not comfortable with sidelines can instead be controlled using front hobbles.

The biothane construction makes this sideline durable, weather-resistant, and easy to handle in real backcountry conditions.
