Ropes and colours

Here at Earthhorse Equipment we use two main types of rope, Marine rope and Equestrian rope.

There is a couple of minor differences between the ropes.

Marine rope is very durable, slightly denser as the core is a little thicker. The lead rope and rein width marine rope is great for training leads or reins that you want a little more solid. The halter width marine rope is a dense 6mm so slightly thinner and stiffer than the equestrian rope for halters. It is best for inset halters as the denseness makes it better for hand stitching. I also prefer to do beading on marine rope where possible. Marine rope has a more limited colour range. 

Current Marine rope halter/riding halter colours, dark brown, black, dark brown/beige zig zag, cyan blue, red, navy/gunmetal, yellow.

Current Marine rope lead/rein colours, Black and dark brown/beige zig zag. Poppers on black leads can have bright colours to make them tie in with halter colours. Link to Marine rope Tack. https://www.earthhorse-equipment.com.au/collections/marine-rope-tack

Equestrian rope comes in a range of colours and is a bit less dense in the core so makes nice "squishy" reins! The halter cord is slightly softer and thicker than Marine rope being 6.35mm, it all comes down to personal preference.

We also have a growing range of stunning western patterned mixed coloured equestrian rope as below.  My aim is not to overdo the colour, just beautiful patterns with colour pops!

'Arizona Sky" a blend of beige, light brown, dark burgundy and turquoise. Looks amazing on any of these colours. Available in halter/reins and padding/leads and insets.
