hemp groundwork rope for the groundwork

Lightweight and dimensionally stable groundwork rope made of hemp in excellent, hand-sewn quality. Due to its length of 6 meters, it is suitable as a short lunge line for lunging with the cavesson close to the horse, as well as for groundwork at a slightly greater distance than with a conventional groundwork rope.

The hemp groundwork rope is equipped with a leather buckle for particularly fine communication. This makes it very easy to attach to the cavesson or halter and is particularly suitable for sensitive horses that react to the weight of a carabiner. This enables particularly fine aids to be given. In addition, unlike a carabiner, the buckle cannot leave any marks on the noseband cavesson. And if a carabiner is needed, it can simply be attached to the leather buckle.

The end of the hemp rope is covered with leather over a length of 10 cm to match the buckle.

Handcrafted in Spain. With black leather elements and silver-colored buckle.

Hemp ropes do not offer the same choice of colors as ground work ropes made from synthetic fibres. However, they combine some outstanding properties that make them a practical companion in the stable and in the riding arena. Hemp is therefore rightly experiencing a real renaissance. Groundwork ropes and lunges made from hemp are particularly durable and resistant. As they absorb less water than cotton, for example, they retain their grip even when lunging in the rain.

And even if the horse gets carried away at lunge , the hemp groundwork rope will still perform faithfully: as it is flame-retardant, it generates less heat than synthetic ground work ropes when the hemp groundwork rope is jerked through the hands. This reduces the risk of blisters.

Compared to the natural material cotton, hemp has a higher abrasion resistance and is more sustainable to grow. A hemp field yields three times more than cotton cultivation on an identical area. Cotton also consumes much more water during cultivation. Groundwork ropes and lunges made from synthetic fibers, on the other hand, cannot be composted and require chemicals to produce.
