FAQs
Is this lead rope suitable for ponies?
Yes, the 2-metre length is standard and appropriate for both horses and ponies.
Can I put this lead rope in a washing machine?
While hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the clip, it can be machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle inside a protective laundry bag.
What is the benefit of a Wednesbury clip?
Wednesbury clips are known for their reliable, long-lasting spring mechanism and smooth operation.
Does the brown colour fade?
Like most cotton products, some minor fading may occur over time if exposed to intense, direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
Is the material slip-resistant?
Yes, the extra thick cotton weave provides significantly more surface area and friction than thinner synthetic ropes, improving grip.
Troubleshooting
Clip is difficult to open or sticky
Clear any debris from the spring mechanism and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant.
Rope has become stiff after washing
Work the rope with your hands to soften the fibres once it is completely dry.
Fraying at the ends
Carefully trim any loose threads and use a lighter to quickly seal the ends if necessary to prevent further unravelling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Hy Lead Rope, simply snap the Wednesbury clip onto the D-ring of your horse's headcollar. Ensure the clip is fully closed to prevent accidental detachment.
Care Instructions:
- Shake or brush off loose dirt and mud after each use to keep the fibres clean.
- If the rope becomes heavily soiled, hand wash in warm water with mild detergent and hang to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid storing the rope in damp conditions to prevent mould or mildew growth on the cotton.
- Inspect the clip periodically for any signs of wear or stiffness and apply a light lubricant if necessary.
