Long lead ropes for horses are used as training tools to communicate with the horse more effectively than shorter, less flexible lead ropes. The extra length provides a bit more freedom for the handler to move their horse around and work on different groundwork exercises. These ropes are made of high quality double braid yachting rope that is engineered for equine use. It is soft in the hand and has a weighted snap that communicates your cues more subtly. It is also extremely strong and resists mold, mildew, dirt, rot, water and UV damage.
The weighted snap adds a counterweight to the line which slows the pressure and releases it more gradually than a traditional snapper, which can help to prevent the handler from catching their fingers in the snap during intense training or when a horse starts to panic. These lead lines are 12 feet long which is a good size for most people to have room to move their horse around and not get out of kick range. They also have a leather popper on the end for easy hooking onto your halter.

These leads are also very soft in the hand, so they don’t irritate the horse and can be held comfortably by the handler. They come in a variety of colors and can be custom embroidered with a name or initials for added personalization.
