KM Elite Double Braided Leadrope - 7ft - Red

While the rope is durable, it is primarily designed for hand-leading. For cross-tying, always use appropriate quick-release safety mechanisms.

Machine washing is generally not recommended as the metal snap can damage the drum and cause the rope to fray. Hand washing is best.

The swivel allows the snap to rotate 360 degrees, which stops the leadrope from twisting and tangling as the horse moves.

KM Elite uses quality dyes, but as with all cotton products, it is advisable to rinse it thoroughly after a deep cleaning to prevent potential color transfer.

This model is 7ft in length, which is the standard size for most general equine handling tasks.

Nylon is generally stronger in terms of pure tensile force, but cotton is preferred for its superior grip, comfort, and lack of 'rope burn' potential.

Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the spring mechanism and work it in to loosen debris.

The rope may have dried with dirt or salt inside; soak it in warm water with a mild fabric softener and hang to dry.

Use a light metal polish or a soft abrasive cloth to gently buff the brass plating to restore its finish.
