ABSTRACT:
A device for correcting the gait of a bad gaited horse comprises soft flexible tubing with a strap routed therethrough. The tubing is placed in the armpits between the horse's body and the tops of the forelegs causing the horse to turn the knees of its forelegs slightly outwardly and thereby reduce a knock kneed or toes out condition. The strap has loops with buckles at the ends to adjustably connect with the shafts of a sulky. Shock cords provide tension between the loops and strap at the ends. Safety straps also connect the strap in the tubing with the loops and buckles at the ends. A chest strap with a buckle connects the strap and tubing across the chest of the horse. The device is placed around the neck of the horse and is buckled across the chest. The ends of the device are brought under the body between the front legs and snugged up by fastening the ends to the sulky shafts. With proper adjustment the tubing is positioned in the horse's armpits. The method of installing the device is also disclosed.
