FAQs
What is the length of the Shires Horse Lead Rope?

Is the clip rust-proof?
The die-cast hardware is durable, but like all metal hardware used in stables, it should be kept dry to prevent oxidation.
Can this lead be used for cross-ties?
While it can be used for temporary handling, it is primarily designed as a lead rope, not for permanent cross-tie installations.
What material is the rope made of?
It is made of high-quality, durable polyester.
Does the clip swivel?
Yes, the lead features a swivel trigger clip that rotates to prevent the rope from twisting.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, this lead comes in a variety of colors including Red, Black, Purple, Blue, and Green.
Troubleshooting
The trigger clip is sticking.
Rinse the clip thoroughly with water to remove grit or dried mud. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the hinge.
The rope is starting to fray.
Use a lighter to carefully singe the loose polyester fibers to stop further unraveling.
