Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Superfine Lead Rope is designed for horse owners and handlers who prioritize comfort and reliable grip during daily equestrian tasks. Offering a soft-touch cotton construction that reduces hand strain, this 2-metre lead provides the perfect balance of length and control for grooming or moving horses between stables and paddocks. While its soft finish makes it exceptionally comfortable to hold, users should note that the natural cotton material requires regular cleaning to maintain its appearance and longevity compared to synthetic alternatives.

FAQs
Is the rope machine washable?
While hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the cotton, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle in a protective laundry bag.
What is the total length of the lead?
The lead measures exactly 2 metres, providing a safe and standard length for most equestrian handling needs.
Does the blue colour bleed when wet?
The dye is designed for standard use, but as with all cotton products, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly before first use.
Can I use this rope for lunging?
This lead is designed for leading and grooming; it is not recommended for lunging due to the specific length and construction.
How do I prevent the cotton from fraying?
Avoid using the rope to tie horses to rough metal or concrete surfaces, as constant friction will eventually cause the cotton to wear.
Troubleshooting
The rope feels stiff after washing
Ensure all soap residue is rinsed out thoroughly and allow the rope to air dry completely, then work the cotton with your hands to soften the fibres.
The snap clip is sticking
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or mineral oil to the spring mechanism and cycle the clip several times.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required; the lead is ready for use immediately. To maintain the integrity of the cotton fibres, avoid dragging the rope through mud or abrasive surfaces unnecessarily. Cleaning is simple: soak in warm soapy water, scrub gently to remove stable grime, and hang in a well-ventilated area to dry completely. Do not leave the rope in direct sunlight for long periods, as this can bleach the blue colour. Check the snap clip periodically for any signs of rust or mechanical failure to ensure consistent safety.
