KM Elite Double Braided Nylon Lead Rope 7ft
Description
KM Elite Double Braided Nylon Lead Rope - 7ft Everyday Horse Lead
The KM Elite Double Braided Nylon Lead Rope is a 7ft (2.13m) horse lead made from double braided round nylon with a brass plated swivel bolt snap. It is designed for horse owners, grooms and yard staff who need a dependable rope for daily leading, tying up, groundwork and in-hand work with horses, ponies and other livestock.
The rounded double braid gives a smooth, comfortable grip that runs tidily through the hand, while the swivel snap turns freely so the line does not kink as your horse moves. It is best for riders who want a straightforward, hard-wearing everyday rope rather than a specialist training lead.

- Clip the brass plated bolt snap to the ring beneath the headcollar, checking the gate closes fully.
- Hold the rope roughly 30cm from the clip with your leading hand.
- Fold the spare length in a concertina in your other hand - never loop or wrap it around your hand, wrist or body.
- After use, rinse off mud and sweat and hang the rope to dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Check the braid and the snap for wear before each use and replace the rope if either is damaged.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is this lead rope?
It is 7ft, which is 2.13m. That gives enough reach for leading, tying up and basic in-hand work without excess rope trailing near your feet.
What is the rope made from?
Double braided round nylon, with a brass plated swivel bolt snap. The double braid construction reduces fraying and helps the rope keep its shape through regular use.
Will it fit my headcollar?
Yes - the bolt snap clips onto the ring of any standard headcollar for horses or ponies.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
It is. The same 7ft length works for ponies, cobs, horses and other livestock, so one rope can cover several animals on a yard.
Why does the snap swivel?
The swivel lets the rope rotate as the horse turns or lowers its head, which stops twists building up in the line and keeps handling calmer.
How should I care for it?
Rinse off dirt and sweat, dry naturally away from direct heat, and inspect the braid and hardware regularly. Replace the rope if the braid is damaged or the snap will not close securely.
