Description:
BACKGROUND 
     This disclosure relates generally to the Applicant&#39;s earlier filed design patent, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 29/417,364 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/801,754. 
     Prior attempts at designing breakaway rope holders have come up short for lack of durability, level of attachment to a rope, and for myriad other shortcomings. No known prior art meet the design objectives of the current system and method and thus an improved breakaway rope holder is advantageous. 
     SUMMARY

     Said breakaway rope holder comprising: a breakaway rope holder comprising a loop having a first end and a second end, a body having a rope bore. Said rope bore is capable of receiving a first end of a rope. Said first end of said loop attaches to said body. Said second end of said loop releaseably attaches to said body. 
     Said method of using a breakaway rope holder comprising: attaching a rope bore of a breakaway rope holder to a first end of a rope. Said breakaway rope holder comprises a loop having a first end and a second end, a body having a rope bore. Said first end of said loop attaches to said body. Said second end of said loop releaseably attaches to said body.
