"The Handy Rope"

Stan Kruml, The Horses Friend, unveiled his revolutionary new product “The Handy Rope” to enthusiastic crowds this past month.

Kruml, who has spent his whole life with horses created “The Handy Rope” to offer a simple, pain free alternative to the halter.

“When you work with as many horses as I do, you want something that you know is safe, convenient, strong, and that wont hurt a horse,” said Kruml.

“The Handy Rope,” which is made of soft cotton rope allows for a custom, pain free fit on a horse of any size or age. Within seconds Stan taught me how to custom fit his product onto anything from a foal to a draft horse. This one size fits all halter alternative makes moving horses so incredibly easy, you wont want to use anything else! No more looking for a halter that fits, dropping them in the dirt (or less aromatic areas), and luggin the bulk of a traditional halter around with you.

“The Handy Rope” is compact, easy to use, multi functional as well as safe and comfortable. By following the simple directions you can secure the rope with something equal to a magician knot. Secure “The Handy Rope” on your horse, then when you’re ready to remove it all you have to do is slip it off the horses nose and the horse is free. The twist / knot (whichever you’ve used to secure it with) virtually disappears by tugging on either side of the rope. The aspect which impressed me was when I removed “The Handy Rope” from my horse and put on his fly mask. With a halter it’s a struggle, balancing the halter and maneuvering the mask. With “The Handy Rope” I wasn’t spooking him with the halter or hitting him on the side of his head. The rope falls down around the horses neck and makes slipping the fly mask on really easy. This is partly due to the fact that the horse doesn’t realize that he is free and the other is that you are not creating a fearful / painful situation.

Dr. Don Moore of Hands on Equine Care, an equine chiropractor, marveled at the revolutionary product and was particularly excited about how and where the rope fits on the horse. “Injury to the horses pole is one of the top reasons for chiropractic adjustment. Because of its design, “The Handy Rope” actually sits lower on the horses neck, which means no stress /pain to the pole area. In my first evaluation I looked for every reason I could to tell Stan that he had wasted 10 years of research, but after a few hours I could only shake my head and wonder why someone hadn’t come up with this idea before!” What this means is that even if you have a horse that pulls back, or a very young horse that is learning to lead, there is no stress to the very vulnerable pole area, which is exactly where a halter sits.

The Handy Rope, which is so compact you can put it in your coat pocket, store it in your glove compartment, or take it along on trail rides, is simple to use and big on multi-tasking. It’s the perfect tool to teach head shy horses, teach a horse to lead and not pull back, teach a horse to hobble as well as ponying your horse. All of this in addition to the regular daily tying, moving and turning out makes it a must have tool for every barn. This product is definitely not another gimmick - The Handy Rope really is a tool, not a toy!

The Handy Rope comes in 14 & 16 foot lengths, the latter for when you want to pony a horse. There is a Handy Rope Colt & Filly model that is extra soft, and the original Handy Rope that has a slightly tighter twist for horses over a year old. In addition, The Horses Friend offers The 3/4” Handy Rope for added strength for horses that pull back. Custom lengths are available. All products come with easy to follow directions, and an instructional video will be available to download from the website very soon.

With all of the benefits I expected “The Handy Rope” to be a $40.00 + investment, but at only $20.00 including tax for the original and Colt /Filly models, and $36.00 including tax for the 3/4” Model, it’s a tool that you won't want to be without.
