6-Foot Savvy String

The Parelli 6-Foot Savvy String is the string of a thousand uses!

It is most popularly used to attach to the end of the Carrot Stick to help you get respect from your horse on the ground. In addition, it can aid in building your horse's confidence. Or, alternatively, it can be used around your horse's neck to aid you in your journey to bridle-less riding.

• 6-feet long.
• Made of smooth, ¼ inch yachting braid.
• Looped end for easy attachment with a latigo popper. The leather popper helps it become straight when swung.
• Great tool for ground skills, especially when combined with a Carrot Stick.
• Combined total of 10-feet when added to a Carrot Stick.
• Can be used as a neck rope when riding.

Note: Red, Blue, Green, and Black Savvy Strings are given as official awards for official graduates of Levels 1, 2, 3, & 4 respectively. They are also available for purchase by official graduates only. 

Tom Dorrance inspired me when he said, "If I can't get it done with just this (piece of baling twine!), I'm not interested. I don't go anywhere without at least two Savvy Strings in my pocket". -Pat Parelli

If the string is too thick it's hard to swing, if it's too thin it has too much sting. The Savvy String is a good middle of the road string at ¼ inch.

Other uses include: As a bit (a Cherokee bridle!), lead with it, tie your dog, make an emergency belt... You name it! Pat Parelli says that you should always have a pocketknife and a Savvy String when you are around horses.
