Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the lead rope is straightforward: simply depress the trigger on the swivel clip to attach it to your horse's halter ring. Ensure that the clip is fully closed after attachment. For maintenance, keep the rope clean by rinsing away mud or debris with water and letting it air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Periodically inspect the trigger clip for any signs of debris or stiffness and apply a light lubricant if the mechanism becomes difficult to operate.
