Give Your Horse the Room to Move Safely

The ARMA Extra Long Cotton Lunge Line by Shires is designed for those who know that a standard 25-foot line just doesn't cut it for serious conditioning. Whether you're working with a large-framed Warmblood or rehabilitating a horse from injury, this 50-foot line allows for a massive 15-meter radius circle, significantly reducing the lateral stress on your horse's joints and hocks.

Crafted from heavyweight cotton, this line offers a superior, non-slip grip that synthetic materials simply can't match. It’s built for the long haul, providing the tactile feedback you need for clear communication without the risk of painful rope burns if your horse decides to test the boundaries.

Key Benefits

• Protects Joint Health: The 50-foot length allows for a 30-meter diameter circle, which minimizes centrifugal force and reduces strain on tendons and ligaments compared to tighter circles.
• Superior Cotton Grip: Unlike slick nylon, the heavyweight cotton construction ensures a secure, non-slip hold and prevents friction burns during sudden pulls.
• Safety-First Design: Cotton is naturally more likely to snap under extreme, dangerous tension than synthetic lines, acting as a critical "break point" to prevent severe entanglement injuries.
• Vaulting & Competition Standard: Meeting the 15-meter radius requirement, this line is an essential tool for equestrian vaulting and advanced groundwork.
• Heavy-Duty Hardware: Features a reinforced swivel snap that prevents tangling and ensures your cues are delivered clearly to the bit or cavesson.

Best For

Vaulters, trainers of large-framed horses, and riders in rehabilitation looking for maximum circle diameter to protect joint health and improve conditioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose cotton over nylon for a 50-foot lunge line?

Cotton provides a much better grip and is significantly safer for the handler's hands. Additionally, the ARMA Extra Long Cotton Lunge Line is preferred because cotton will break under extreme stress, whereas nylon can cause severe injury if a horse gets a leg caught.

Q: Is this line suitable for ground driving?

Yes, the 50-foot length makes it an excellent choice for ground driving or long-lining, giving you plenty of distance to work safely behind or beside green horses.
