Take a look at the video's on the website and on our Facebook page and you will see both styles of neck strap in action. Here are the major differences and how the two styles are designed to work: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6312f0bf72c51e1c8aacc31c/e5c9a0af-7c23-4e7c-8524-0e478adca247/green+neck+strap.jpg Blog - Which neck strap do I need? - Original soft hands stability strap: This style is made from 8mm rope and as you can see in the photo, is tethered to the saddle via the "tether strap" that is attached to the D rings on your saddle. The strap length can be adjusted from the saddle and as it is tethered will not slip forward as well as keeping your hands in a more stable position. The strap discourages "wild hands" and pulling back during rein aids and helps keep your contact more consistent, particularly if your horse leans on the bit. It can be used for confidence building as something to hang on to if you are feeling a bit nervous or unsteady (rather than hanging on to your horse's mouth) but also to help train a better stop response, reduce the pressure on the horses mouth and to help lift your horse's shoulders and avoid him falling on the forehand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6312f0bf72c51e1c8aacc31c/f5160b19-4dd0-4dc3-a460-4149310c78bb/IMG_3527.JPG Blog - Which neck strap do I need? - Free Ride Strap: The free ride strap was originally designed for free-riding but has become more popular as an alternative to the original neck strap. The major difference is that this style of strap does not tether to the saddle and is adjusted via a unique sliding mechanism that locks into place. The strap can be made in 8mm or 10mm rope and has all the features and benefits of the original strap. It does allow for more movement of your hands so if your are trying to target a better hand position, this may not be the style for you. https://softhandsequine.com/blog/dongles monthly 0.5 2022-12-09
