NECK ROPES or CORDEO
Neck Ropes, or you may be familiar with the name "Cordeo", can be used by anyone who rides bridleless.
Although orginially intended for bridleless riding, neck ropes work well for groundwork as it gives you
something to grab if needed.
Search the internet and YouTube for information and videos on using Neck Ropes.
Follow the link to read the article "Why use a Cordeo in Training?" by Ivy Schexnayder.
Here are a few quotes from the article:
"A cordeo is simply a neck rope."
"One of the benefits of using a cordeo in most of your training is that you can almost never force the horse into doing what you want. Sure you can use a lot of pressure, but with almost no control or pain. This allows you to use it as a tool to increase your bond with your horse."
"Using a cordeo can teach you to be light. It can teach you to watch what your horse is telling you. It can help your horse to begin thinking and interacting with you. It can be the beginning of a fantastic relationship between you and your horse."
*************************************************************************************
Some words of caution:
Riding bridleless is an advanced method or riding that takes a great deal of time to develop. Serious injury could occur to both horse and rider if both are not ready for this advanced level. Please take the greatest of care when using a tool such as the Neck Rope as safety should always be the first priority.
We all have to start somewhere. If you'd love to ride bridleless but aren't quite ready for it yet please be sure to do lots of research and learn from an experienced trainer to keep you and your horse as safe as possible.
We can supply you with the tools but we cannot supply the common sense and training needed to use the tools safely. That part is up to you! Ride safe!
