How to Use
- Check the rope, stitching and trigger hook for wear before each use.
- Fit the headcollar correctly, then clip the trigger hook onto the ring beneath the horse's chin with the opening facing away from the jaw.
- Hold the rope folded, never looped or wrapped around your hand, when leading.
- When tying up, secure to a loop of baler twine using a quick-release knot rather than tying directly to a solid fixing.
- After use, hang the rope up to dry and store it out of the mud and damp.
FAQ
How long is the Equi-Sential Trigger Leadrope?
It is six foot long, roughly 1.8 metres, which is a standard everyday length for leading and tying up.
What is the lead rope made from?
The rope is 100% thick cotton, finished with a large strong brass plated trigger hook.
Will it fit a pony headcollar as well as a full size one?
Yes. The trigger hook clips onto the standard ring found on pony, cob and full size headcollars, so one rope suits a mixed yard.
Is a trigger hook better than a spring clip?
A trigger hook is generally easier to open one-handed and with gloves on, and the larger body is simpler to grip in cold or wet weather.
Can I tie my horse directly to a metal ring with this rope?
No. Always tie to a loop of baler twine using a quick-release knot so your horse can break free if it panics.
How should I clean a cotton lead rope?
Wash by hand in cool water and dry naturally away from direct heat, as hot drying can shrink cotton. Replace the rope if the fibres fray or the hook corrodes.
