Hopples

The Number 1 choice for over 40 years!

  • The new Zilco Hopple range has a loop to suit every horse from the "natural" pacer, to the horse that really needs to "feel" it's hopples, to the horse that has special training requirements
  • Zilco's range of anatomically designed hopples feature new high tech materials that are made to perform. After much research and testing, we can confidently say that these are our best hopples ever.
  • The new "slicker" materials and design changes, combined with correct fitting, eliminate the need for lubrication.
  • Our new architecturally developed "U" shaped hopple block offers improved stability, shaping and balance.

Lightweight Hopple Loop

Zilco's original lightweight hopple, made from flexible polymer material with 16mm coated web core. This tubing will withstand cracking and retain it's flexibility in low temperatures. The oval tubing provides an internal air cushion and is more suited to the "natural" pacer. The Lightweight model uses the old "A" shaped hopple block now made with an unbreakable plastic.

Set Includes

4 "Lightweight" loops and one pair of connecting straps packed in a nylon carry bag. Carry straps/hangers sold separately.

Weight

Approx 250gm (one loop)

Premier Loop
