Product Information
Full details
The Waldhausen Soft Lead Rein is an essential accessory for horse handlers who prioritize both comfort and control during training or leading. Designed for those who need a secure grip, this lead combines durable polyester webbing with a refined glossy chain, making it ideal for daily use at the stable or during show preparations. While the soft webbing is comfortable in the hand, users should be mindful that the chain component is designed for specific leading situations and requires careful handling to prevent tangling.

FAQs
What is the total length of the Waldhausen Soft Lead Rein?
The total length is 165 cm, consisting of 90 cm of soft webbing and 75 cm of chain.
Is the chain section removable?
No, the chain is permanently attached to the webbing for structural safety.
Can I use this for lunging?
This lead is designed specifically for leading. It is not recommended for lunging due to the chain length and construction.
How should I store the lead to prevent rust?
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area and ensure the chain is wiped clean of sweat or moisture after every use.
Is the material color fast?
The black polyester is high-quality and color-fast, but prolonged exposure to direct UV rays may cause slight fading over many years.
Troubleshooting
Carabiner is stiff or difficult to open
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the spring mechanism and cycle the gate several times.
Visible dirt or mud on webbing
Soak the webbing portion in warm soapy water, scrub gently with a soft brush, and air dry away from direct sunlight.
Chain is tangling during storage
Always coil the webbing neatly and store the chain flat or hanging to prevent the links from twisting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the lead, simply open the carabiner and attach it to the side or bottom rings of your horse's halter. Ensure the gate of the carabiner snaps shut completely before leading the animal. For care, wipe the chain with a dry cloth after use to prevent moisture buildup and corrosion. The polyester webbing can be hand-washed with mild soap and water if it becomes soiled. Always inspect the stitching and the carabiner spring regularly to ensure no wear or mechanical failure has occurred, keeping the gear in top condition for your horse's safety.
