Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the leadrope is straightforward; simply align the swivel trigger clip with your horse's halter ring and snap it into place. To ensure longevity, keep the leadrope dry when not in use to prevent the cotton fibers from weakening. If the rope becomes muddy or dirty, hand-wash it with mild soap and cold water, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight. Regularly inspect the trigger clip for any signs of corrosion or stiffness and clear away any grit from the swivel mechanism to ensure smooth operation.
