Description
Shoof Vet Rope - Soft 24mm Marine-Grade Polyester Handling Rope
The Shoof Vet Rope is a soft, safe handling rope made from 24mm-diameter marine-grade polyester that flattens out when wrapped around a limb, so it will not cut, burn or chafe. It is designed for vets, farm staff, grooms and yard owners who need a rope that is kind to the animal during restraint and handling work with horses, ponies and cattle.
It will not rot, it gets better with every wash, and one end is finished with an eye splice that will not fray. Browse more yard and handling kit in our horse care collection.

How to Use
- Uncoil the rope fully and check the length and eye splice for any cuts, wear or abrasion.
- Pass the working end through the eye splice if you need a loop, or use the spliced end as your fixed point.
- Wrap around the limb so the rope lies flat against the leg, keeping the wrap even and free of twists.
- Keep slack under control and never wrap the rope around your own hand or body.
- Release cleanly once the procedure is finished, then coil the rope and hang it up to dry.
- Cold wash when dirty and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat.
