FAQs
How long is the Shires Wessex Leadrope?
This leadrope measures 1.8 meters in length.
Is the rope machine washable?
We recommend hand-washing to preserve the integrity of the hardware and the structure of the twisted rope.
Can this be used for lungeing?
While it can be used for basic leading, a longer specialized lunge line is recommended for lungeing activities.
Is the clip rust-proof?
The clip is made of durable metal, but you should wipe it dry after exposure to rain to prevent surface oxidation.
Does the rope come in different colors?
Yes, the Wessex series is available in several colors including blue, orange, pink, red, black, and purple.
Troubleshooting
Trigger clip is sticking or hard to open
Clear any dirt or debris from the hinge and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant.
Rope is fraying at the ends
Carefully singe the frayed ends with a lighter to fuse the cotton fibers, then ensure the binding is secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the leadrope, simply attach the trigger clip to the bottom ring of your horse's halter. Ensure the clip mechanism is fully closed and unobstructed by debris. For maintenance, keep the rope clean by brushing off loose dirt after use. If the leadrope becomes muddy or soiled, it can be hand-washed in cool water with mild soap and hung to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Avoid storing the rope in damp conditions to prevent rot or mold growth on the cotton fibers.
