Poor horse..... Seriously, it is a very coarse, hard, large-diameter fiber that is widely used for shopping bags to sell to tourists, for which it is suitable. It is also fine for door mats. It is fairly brittle, so long life is not a strong point. OK, I know, your great grandmother had one given to her by Emilano Zapata that you still use every day.
