Featuring a high-strength construction that significantly outlasts traditional cotton ropes, this lead offers superior grip and weather resistance for busy yard environments.

FAQs
Is this lead rope suitable for horses that pull?
Yes, the high-strength polyester material is ten times stronger than cotton, making it a reliable choice for horses that may test their lead.
Does the brass snap rust if left outside?
The brass snap is corrosion-resistant; however, it is best practice to keep the lead indoors when not in use to extend the life of all components.
What is the total length of the lead?
The lead is exactly 6 feet long, which is the standard length for safe horse handling.
Can I put this lead in the washing machine?
Hand washing is recommended to prevent the brass snap from damaging the drum of your washing machine and to preserve the integrity of the fibers.
Will this match my other KM Elite gear?
Yes, the Raspberry color is specifically designed to color-match the KM Elite range of headcollars.
Troubleshooting
Snap clip feels stiff or difficult to open
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the spring mechanism and cycle the clip several times to clear out trapped dust or grit.
Rope has become very dirty after turnout
Soak the rope in a bucket of warm water with mild detergent for 30 minutes, agitate by hand, rinse thoroughly, and hang to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply attach the heavy-duty brass snap to the ring of your horse's headcollar. The rope is fully compatible with all standard equine headcollars and halters. To maintain the lead's condition, wash it periodically by soaking in warm, soapy water to remove mud, sweat, or grit that can accumulate in the weave. Allow the rope to air dry completely away from direct high-heat sources to ensure the longevity of the polyester fibers. Always inspect the snap clip before use to ensure the spring mechanism remains free of debris or rust.
