Neck Ropes

Using a rope around the neck of a horse is far less restricting than a halter. While there is still a connection between the horse and handler, it removes the negative effects and braces associated with such. Being as the neck is less sensitive than the face,

IN PROGRESS......

The plain rope attached seems to be a better deal, but really, it is unblanced in the way of attachment. The knot cannot be balanced from side to side and will have a tendancy to hang in one direction more than the other......an offset of weight distribution. Really, the best I have found so far would be a looped rope with a good balanced splice in it for evenness from left to right and front to back.

The biggest problem with the rope halters, is that it causes improper flexion of the head, jaw and poll when the horse is worked on the ground or ridden. This is the beggining of many problems that are hard to eradicate once you are working toward correctness.
