This tool can be used by anyone that rides bridleless, regardless of their methodology.

As with any training tool, an understanding of it should be had before it is used, whether you are into Natural Horsemanship and using it as a Neck Rope for riding bridleless, or using it as a Cordeo.

It takes time to develop horse and rider to an advanced level of riding with a rope around the horses neck, I encourage the novice that wants to obtain that level to study the art and learn, so you can use this tool safely.

Serious injury could occur to horse and trainer if both are not ready for this level.

I know we all have to start somewhere and I encourage everyone to advance their horsemanship, but safety should always be first.

Ground work should never be skipped as it lays the foundation for what is to come no matter what discipline.

This is a great tool to start learning on the ground with and advancing to riding bridleless with.

Cordeos are used in resistance-free or relationship-based training.

A cordeo is simply a neck rope. It is placed so that it lies loosely around the base of the horse’s neck. If you are going to be riding with it, you will need it a little longer.

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. By using it only as a communication tool and not a pain inducing tool, you can gradually gain more of your horse’s trust. It allows your horse to be confident that he will not be hurt. It also allows you an opportunity to train without having to use controlling pressure. You cannot get harder and harder or use physical pain.

This method of training is not very well known in the US, the more known trainers using this method are from Russia, Denmark, and Canada.

To see it being used check out YouTube.

Ren recently started practicing this type of resistance - free training, she is one of several people in the US that is using this way to communicate and train horses.
