When I
shear one of my sheep, I put her on a shearing stand with her head in a
stanchion. This setup keeps the front end of the sheep fairly steady, but the
rear end can pivot all over the place, and, believe me, it does.
I looked
online and saw some hobbles for goats. They were made from nylon webbing,
closed with Velcro, and were adjustable. They appeared fairly simple. I figured
I’d make a pair to try out the idea. If they worked, I’d make a better pair or
order some.
I’m glad
I experimented with my cheap version first. NEVER mix Velcro with sheep – and
their wool. Use your imagination for the rest!

Aack! Hope all was untangled and unstuck in the end!
Yep, there were no long-term issues except to the hobbles themselves. Velcro looses its "grabiness" really fast when it's full of wool.
