Product description
A Draw Rope That Knows When to Quit Pulling
Best for: Western riders and trainers looking for a draw rope martingale that limits the draw once the horse finds the right head position.
The Professional's Choice Al Dunning Draw Rope Martingale, known as The Black Rope, is a training martingale from the Al Dunning collection. It draws the horse's head into position, then transfers the pull to the bit or snaffle.
The key is the knots in the rope. Once the horse reaches the head position you want, the knots limit the draw, so the horse is not pulled further and the pressure moves to the bit instead.
A neck strap keeps the rope secure so slack does not turn into a tripping hazard, and the strap between the legs lets you adjust the draw rope to your horse. It is a training tool, so use it with the guidance of someone experienced with draw ropes if it is new to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do the knots work?
The knots in the rope set how far the draw can go. Once your horse reaches the head position you want, the draw stops and the pull transfers to the bit or snaffle.
Q: Why does it have a neck strap?
The neck strap keeps the rope secure, so any slack in the Professional's Choice Al Dunning Draw Rope Martingale does not hang where the horse could step through it.
Q: Is this for a young horse or a finished one?
It is a training tool for teaching head position. How and when to use it depends on your horse, so if draw ropes are new to you, work with an experienced trainer.
