A hopple for horses to maintain the pacing gait of the horse. Hopples of this type comprising four ovate hopple members each of which is adapted to surround one leg of a horse to which the hopple is fitted, each of which hopple members is provided at each end with a riser strap carrying a buckle used to connect the riser strap to a supporting strap passing over the horse. The present invention is characterized in that at least some of the supporting straps are bifurcated at their ends and the corresponding riser straps are provided with a pair of buckles. The bifurcated supporting strap substantially eliminates the problem of a hopple member breaking free from its associated supporting strap and falling down thereby tripping the horse.
