Abstract: A bullrope including a main body portion, with handle, a loop member with eye, and a tail portion. The rope is placed about the girth of a bull with the tail portion engaging the eye of the loop and the remainder of the tail portion wrapped once or twice about the bull rider's hand for cinching the rope. A pair of temporarily engaging fastening members are provided on the tail portion to form a safety loop which may be readily grasped by the rodeo clown to free the rider's hand from the handle should the rider's hand accidently become entangled in the handle and tail portion of the bullrope.
