FAQs
Is the rope machine washable?
While hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the cotton fibers, it can be machine washed on a delicate, cold cycle inside a wash bag.
How long is the KM Elite lead rope?
This model is 2 metres in length, which is the standard size for safe horse handling.
Will the Hot Orange color fade?
Like most textiles, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause minor fading over time, but the dye used is chosen for durability in outdoor settings.
Can I use this rope to tie a horse in a trailer?
Yes, it is designed for general handling and tying, provided your horse is trained to tie safely.
Is the rope heavy?
No, the superfine cotton construction makes this rope lightweight and easy to manage, even for children or those with limited grip strength.
Troubleshooting
Rope has become stiff or dirty
Soak the rope in a bucket of warm water with mild detergent for 30 minutes, rinse thoroughly, and air dry completely.
Hardware is sticking
Ensure no debris is trapped in the snap clip mechanism and apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary.
