Rope used in Parelli halters?

haunani · 07-24-2008, 09:20 AM

I was wondering if anyone knew what rope Parelli used for their halters.

I don't mean yacht braid or such, but the actual rope (brand, style, etc.). I like it's diameter and stiffness (between that of CA's stiff ones and the soft double braid I have now), but haven't been able to find the rope on my own.

So you're saying that they're not as stiff as Clinton Anderson's, and that's what you like about them? Because I know where you can get the stuff that CA's are made of, but if you don't want it that stiff, then obviously that's no help!

I don't know exactly what brand but I have a good link for rope.

Anyway, good luck!

It's called Samson rope.

Is that what you were looking for?

CB Knot is great. I've been getting rope from them for a while now.

None of the Samson ropes match what he uses, though. That's where I'm lost.

I thought it was from samson but I could be wrong. I made my own halter and took a friedns parelli along to the store to find the right rope. I'm not postive if it's the identical rope but the one I found was as close to identical as possible. I live in a big sailing area and cn't quite remeber where I got the rope but I think it was from a West Marine store: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...atalogId=10001

I am really not being helpful but I can't even seem to remember which rope I ended up getting

. But maybe there's a store near you and you could go see them all in person and find the one that matches.

A marine store in Iowa?

lol Sorry, had to chuckle at that one.

It's not a big rush for me to find it, it's more of a curiosity thing.
