Horse kicking when being rugged

[Penny Less]

His owner came up yesterday and poked and prodded him and he never lifted a leg ! I know he does have a problem with that leg, old injury.Maybe he just doesn't like me
Re the rug thing, I have been putting on from the wrong side as suggested, been wary about the leg straps though. Thinking of changing to a fillet string for the time he is still here, do they do a good job of stopping the rugs from slipping ?

I've always used fillet string. A good rug shouldn't slip, none of mine do anyway.

Have just tried the bent clothes hanger, worked a treat, thanks whoever it was suggested it.

Fillet strings work well on well fitting rugs, I don't use leg straps now at all.
