 Equestrian Ropes and Accessories: 
Now the best equestrian ropes have a name to go with their reputation!
Polyester is the material that most marine ropes are made from and is used on the outside jacket of climbing ropes to protect them from abrasion. Even high-tech exotic ropes like spectra use polyester to protect them from wear and UV light.
Polyester produces less friction so that means a greatly reduced chance of rope burn and less abrasion on your horse’s skin. Combined with a comfortable weight in the hand our ropes are perfect for all natural horsemanship techniques.
Knots tied in polyester will hold tight but can always be undone should adjustment be required.
Unlike cheap halter cords and webbing, Polyester will not harden or powder with age and will have only minor fading over the long life of the rope. It is unaffected by water, will not rot, mould or mildew and is resistant to most acids and oils. Polyester can be washed with normal household detergents in warm water.
Cheap polypropylene halter cords and webbing have a much lower breaking strain (about 30% less) and lose another 30% per year through age. Polyester ropes lose only 3% per year making ropes that can be relied on not to break.
