We use marine grade rope with double braid construction in which both the outer sleeve and the core are braided. Marine grade rope is designed to withstand sun and salt water without fading, rotting, or fraying. Our leads and reins are made with Samson Stable Braid which is marine grade rope made specifically for equestrian applications. Half inch rope from Samson is comparable to nine sixteenth rope from other manufacturers. It is light enough to be a comfortable weight at the twenty two foot length.
Halters are available in a rainbow of colors .
Leads and reins made from Stable Braid are available only in white pictured below. First the braided core is constructed. A second rope is then braided over it to form the cover or sleeve. Since Samson first introduced double braid rope in 1958 there have been many improvements, but the basic design concept of a braided core has not changed. Along with the development of the double braided design came Parallay construction, a twisting and braiding process to align all fibers parallel to the running axis of the rope.
