Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply attach the swivel trigger clip to the ring of your horse’s halter. Ensure the clip clicks securely into place before applying any tension. Compatibility is universal with standard horse halters. For maintenance, keep the lead rope clean by hand washing with mild soap and cold water if it becomes heavily soiled. Always allow it to air dry thoroughly away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the fibers. Periodically check the swivel trigger mechanism for smooth movement; if it becomes stiff due to grit or dirt, a light application of lubricant can restore functionality.
