FAQs
Is this lead rope suitable for tying a horse?
While durable, this rope is primarily designed for leading. Always use a quick-release knot or a cross-tie system when securing a horse.
How long is the rope?
The HKM Lead Rope - Livigno is 180 cm in length.
Can this be washed in a washing machine?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the snap hook and avoid hardware damage to the machine.
What material is used for the lead?
The lead is made from high-quality, durable polyester webbing.
Is the snap hook removable?
No, the snap hook is permanently attached to the rope for safety and structural reliability.
Troubleshooting
Snap hook is sticking or difficult to open
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the spring mechanism and work it back and forth.
Fraying at the ends of the rope
Carefully heat-seal the ends using a lighter or match, taking care not to burn the material, to prevent further unraveling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The HKM Lead Rope is ready for immediate use out of the packaging; simply attach the snap hook to the halter ring. It is compatible with all standard equine halters. To ensure longevity, rinse the snap hook with fresh water if exposed to mud or salt, and allow the polyester rope to air dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation. If the rope becomes heavily soiled, it can be hand-washed in mild soapy water.
