Inspired by the pioneering movement of the British Bridleless Competition, our Custom BioThane & Rope Liberty Neck Rope is designed for equestrians ready to showcase ultimate trust, connection, and liberty skills. Whether you are actively competing in bridleless events or simply exploring tackless riding at home, this hybrid neck rope gives you the perfect balance of weight, communication, and security.
The Hybrid Design:Unlike standard all-rope neck rings that can slip through your hands, our unique design features a structured 19mm handle section made from strictly waterproof BioThane that rests perfectly at the withers, providing a secure, wipe-clean grip. This connects to our 10mm premium weather-proof PPM rope, which offers the perfect weight and drape around the horse's chest for clear neck-reining cues. Secured with stainless steel Chicago screws and handcrafted in the UK, you can build a beautifully bespoke setup from our Endless Colours that handles the absolute chaos of the yard!

How should a liberty neck rope fit?
When fitted, the neck rope should sit comfortably at the base of the horse's neck, resting against the chest and shoulders. It must have enough slack for the rider to hold the BioThane handle securely without putting constant pressure on the horse.
Why does this neck rope have a BioThane section at the top?
While traditional neck ropes are made entirely of rope, we designed our hybrid version with a waterproof BioThane strap at the withers. This gives the rider a smooth, structured, and non-slip "handle" to hold onto, which offers far more stability and grip than holding onto woven rope, especially in wet winter weather!
Is the rope heavy enough for clear communication?
Yes! We use 10mm premium weather-proof PPM rope that provides an excellent drape and natural weight. This allows your horse to easily feel the physical cues and neck-reining aids required for bridleless riding and liberty work.
Is it easy to clean after a muddy ride?
Absolutely. Unlike traditional leather that requires oiling, our neck ropes are built for real yard life. You can wipe the BioThane handle clean with a sponge in seconds, and dunk the rope section into a bucket of warm soapy water. It will dry quickly and never hold onto yard smells!
Will the hardware rust?
No! We know this gear will be exposed to the elements, so we exclusively use rust-resistant stainless steel Chicago screws to secure the BioThane grip to the PPM rope. It is built to survive the absolute worst of the UK winter.
