Introducing the NEW Freedom Neckrope 🤩

PRE-ORDERS ARE NOW OPEN 🥳

After months of designing, prototyping, tweaking and trialing, we are SO excited to finally introduce the Freedom Neckrope, created by The Heart of Horsemanship in partnership with WOW Saddles!

We wanted to create an elegant and classy piece of equipment, that gives the rider comfort and feel, whilst allowing for subtle and clear communication with the horse, specifically designed for bridleless riding.

🇬🇧 Made in the UK
🤎 Crafted from premium English reinback leather
✨ Soft and comfortable reins for the riders hands
🐴 Rolled leather for refined communication and feel for the horse
🙌 Designed to be long enough allowing the rider to sit up for collection, and not be pitched forward
⚜️ Branded brass adjustable buckles
🐎 Adjustable from pony to full size
📍 Centre pin to keep your middle
💪🏻 Durable enough for everyday training, classy enough for the competition arena

The Freedom Neckrope represents something much bigger than just a tool.

It represents a future of equestrianism where we strive for lighter communication, greater understanding, and a partnership built on trust rather than control ❤️

Riding in this Neckrope you become part of the movement 🌍

Boogie dancing ✨

I love seeing the dynamic range of different postures and balance in these photos 😍

From collection, to stretch, to somewhere in the middle! But what stands out is the range in his shoulders and the lift through his back 💪🏻

Want to learn more about how you can achieve this with your horse? Head over to The Heart of Horsemanship Academy where we have the whole process documented for you to learn too 🥳

It’s time to fly ✨

The fabulous young Earl working out how to find rhythm and relaxation in powerful motion over fences 🤩

He’s a fantastic warmblood owned and being beautifully developed by his adoring owner Charlotte, who is excellent at embracing never ending self improvement and seeking more knowledge to better herself for him 🥳

The idea of this exercise was going with his idea when he wanted to move his feet, AND give him something to think about (the lovely XC fences!) until he felt able to find relaxation in motion, and then make the choice to come back down to a standstill and graze ❤️

The swinging of that pendulum between power and athleticism and then total relaxation at standstill is such a valuable skill for horses to develop! The epitome of a healthy nervous system! 💪🏻
