Bunny,
Once of the best pieces of advice that I ever received was to use what you can connect with. If you love the feel and smell of hemp then use it. Since you have access to lead ropes use them.
If you get into rope play you’ll find that you may end up mixing and matching. I have an entire drawer dedicated to rope. I pack my rope bag based on the ties I plan to use when playing. This is because all types of rope have pros and cons. Natural fibers will be more chaffing. Manmade fibers while they have a high burn rate may actually feel softer. Cotton tends to roll and silk is very slippery. All ropes burn, just be careful pulling long lengths of it against skin.
The lead ropes are a good choice for beginning. They have the advantage of thickness. So there is less change of compression injury. The disadvantage of thickness is difficulty in tying. I don’t use any knots that I didn’t learn growing up on the farm.
Read Sebastian’s post again. Take the time to review the safety FAQs available for rope play. Please take the time to research non-constricting cuffs. There are many good instructions out there.
Bandage scissors are NOT the same as EMT shears. They are shaped the same; both have a foot that’s designed to lift the material to be cut away from the skin. Bandage scissors are more along the lines on paper scissors, just with a rounded foot. EMT shears have a larger grip and are designed to cut though clothes, seat belts etc. and will easily cut though rope and leather cuffs. You may have seen them advertised as being able to cut a penny in half.

oh, and horse trailers are great places to tie someone up for playing.

I would stray away from using too many horsie equpment, as when I'm thinking about horses, the last thing on my mind would be sex... It's hard to explain, but it would be like trying to have sex in your child's bed. It just doesn't work out in your head properly. LOL
