5/16" Progress String w/Loop & Popper - Black

This progress string is made from 5/16" double braid rope with an eye splice at one end and a leather popper at the other. This is probably one of the most useful natural horseman tools you can carry. It is aptly named because you can progress significantly with your horses learning when used properly. Both the eye and back splices are hand sewn so they won't unravel.

Use it on the ground to send energy to a horse. Spin the popper end at the shoulder or rump of a horse that is moving in to your space. You can fashion the progress string into a makeshift halter or use it to tie a horse out on the trail.

Please note all of our natural horseman supply ropes are made of high-quality Samson marine rope as described above.

Information on Progress Strings

In the saddle, you can use the progress string in place of a crop to tap the horse in the rump. It is very useful to work out the neck reining concept on your horse. With a helper on the ground using a lead rope or longe line, put the progress string around the neck of your horse. The pressure of the rope along with leg aids can easily teach a horse this concept.
