Five Strand Cotton is a durable rope with lots of body. A Heritage Horseman Supply Exclusive. Our waxed cottons are treated in our exclusively engineered wax vat that is heated to the optimum temperature to allow the wax to penetrate adequately and evenly into the entire rope. Ropes are stretched and kept straight to allow continued resilience throughout life of the rope. This rope has long been tested and found to be most durable and long lasting in all aspects of ranch roping. Base rope comes with a tied honda and rawhide burner. Color patterns and shades of color vary. The color you choose will be predominant.
