FAQs
What is the length of the Shires Horse Lead Rope?
The lead rope is exactly 2 meters long, providing optimal reach for handling.
Is the clip rust-resistant?
The clip features reinforced zinc components which provide good durability, but it is recommended to keep it clean and dry to prolong its lifespan.
Can I machine wash this lead rope?
It is recommended to hand wash the rope in a bucket of warm water to prevent damage to the swivel mechanism caused by the machine agitation.
What material is used for the rope?
It is constructed from high-quality, durable polyester.
Does the swivel feature work well?
Yes, the die-cast swivel trigger clip is specifically designed to prevent the rope from twisting.
Troubleshooting
Swivel clip is stuck or stiff
Clean the swivel joint with water to remove dirt or apply a light silicone lubricant to the rotation point.
Rope fibers are fraying
Trim loose threads carefully and lightly sear the ends with a flame if necessary to prevent further unraveling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This lead rope is compatible with all standard horse halters equipped with a lead ring. To attach, simply open the swivel trigger clip by pressing the spring-loaded lever and hook it onto the halter ring. For care, keep the rope dry when not in use to maintain the integrity of the polyester fibers. If the rope becomes muddy, rinse it with clean water and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources. Periodically check the swivel mechanism on the clip for dust or grit build-up; a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied if the rotation becomes restricted.
