Shires Velociti Gara Leather Neck Strap With Handle - Adjustable Training Aid
- Vendor: Shires
Product description
A Padded Grab Handle That Stays Put at the Wither
Best for: Riders looking for a secure leather neck strap and grab handle for riding at speed, competition or building confidence.
The Shires Velociti Gara Neck Strap With Handle gives you something solid to hold when the pace picks up or your balance needs a little help. A central padded handle sits right where your hand falls, and it attaches and detaches by buckle, so you can run the strap with or without it.
Two removable attachments buckle onto the neck strap and clip to your saddle D-rings. That keeps the strap in place at the wither instead of sliding up the neck, and Shires notes this makes it suitable for use in competition.
The strap is made from supple, vegetable-tanned leather, hand stitched with self-colour thread and finished with stainless steel buckles. It is padded at the wither and adjusts from either side, so you can set the fit evenly.
Why Riders Choose the Velociti Gara Neck Strap
- Padded central handle — easy to find and grab, and it buckles on or off as you need it.
- Clips to the saddle — two removable attachments run to your saddle D-rings to keep the strap positioned at the wither.
- Padded at the wither — a padded section sits where the strap crosses the top of the neck.
- Adjusts from both sides — set the length evenly on the left and right.
- Quality leather and hardware — vegetable-tanned leather, hand stitching and stainless steel buckles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use the strap without the handle?
Yes. The padded handle on the Shires Velociti Gara Neck Strap attaches and detaches by buckle, so you can ride with the plain strap and add the handle when you want it.
Q: How does it stay in place?
Two removable attachments buckle onto the neck strap and clip to the D-rings on the front of your saddle. This holds the strap at the wither instead of letting it slide forward.
Q: How should I care for the leather?
Shires recommends oiling the leather with neatsfoot oil before first use until it is soft. After that, wipe off dirt with a damp sponge, treat with a leather soap, and let damp leather dry naturally away from heat.
