i dont really beleive in hobbles they would be a last resort for me. that clip looks pretty good, i am not an expert on this stuff I just have learnt alot since i have been getting lessons with Dan James. and also my own trials and errors. All horses are naturally clostrfobic (is that how you spell it?) anyways is he like it in all floats? is he a boss in the paddock? do you have him tied up? does he know the horse he is floated with? and does he have a history that you may not know about? it is all hard to figure out until you see. if you think it is simply a behavoural thing i would get a whip with a plastic bag on it and once you have put the back up i would smack his butt with the bag end each time he makes a fuss. make the right thing easy and the hard thing wrong.
