Product Information
Full details
The Shires Extra Long Horse Lead Rope is an essential tool for equestrians and horse owners seeking a reliable, extended-reach tether for daily handling and training. At 3 meters in length, it provides significantly more maneuvering room than standard leads, though users should be mindful of the extra slack to avoid tangling during use.

FAQs
Is this lead rope machine washable?
Hand washing in a bucket is recommended to preserve the integrity of the clip and the rope fibers.
Can I use this for cross-ties?
No, this is intended for leading and handling; it is not a substitute for proper breakaway cross-ties.
What is the weight capacity of the clip?
The clip is designed for standard horse handling, but it is not rated for heavy-duty load bearing or towing.
Will the rope become slippery when wet?
The twisted design is specifically chosen to provide better grip than flat webbing even when wet.
Is this available in other colors?
Yes, it is available in a variety of colors including red, purple, green, orange, and black.
Troubleshooting
Clip feels stiff or difficult to open
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or spray to the trigger mechanism and cycle it several times.
Rope is tangling during use
Ensure you are coiling the rope neatly after each session rather than stuffing it into a bin or leaving it on the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the lead rope, simply check that the swivel clip moves freely before attaching it to the halter ring. This lead is compatible with virtually all standard equine halters. To keep your rope in good condition, brush off dried mud or debris after each use. If the rope becomes excessively dirty, wash it in a bucket of warm soapy water and hang it in a well-ventilated area to air dry completely. Avoid storing the rope while it is damp to prevent mildew growth. Regularly inspect the trigger clip for signs of rust or spring fatigue to ensure continued reliable operation.
