LeMieux Training Leadrope 3m Woven Rope Lead for Horses
Description
LeMieux Training Leadrope - 3m Woven Rope for Groundwork and In-Hand Work
The LeMieux Training Leadrope is a 3m woven lead rope with a 25cm faux leather tail and a brushed metal trigger clip, made for groundwork or for leading while riding. It is best for riders who want a longer, harder-wearing rope than a standard 2m yard lead for schooling in-hand, lunging-style groundwork and everyday leading.
The multi-colour weave keeps it easy to spot in the tack room and coordinates with the rest of your yard kit, while the single length clips to any standard headcollar ring, so there is no size to choose.

- Distinctive multi-colour weave
- 25cm faux leather tail for a weighted, stylish finish

How to Use
- Clip the trigger clip onto the bottom ring of a correctly fitted headcollar and check it has closed fully.
- Hold the rope in folds across your palm - never loop it around your hand or wrist.
- For groundwork, feed out the length gradually so your horse can move away from you while you keep contact.
- When leading while riding, keep the rope short enough to stay clear of your horse's legs.
- When tying up, use a quick-release knot to a piece of breakable string, never directly to a solid fixing.
- Wipe the faux leather tail with a damp cloth and dry the rope naturally away from direct heat.

FAQ
How long is the LeMieux Training Leadrope?
It is 3m long, plus a 25cm faux leather tail at the end of the rope.
Will it fit my horse's headcollar?
Yes. The rope comes in one length and the brushed metal trigger clip attaches to the ring of any standard headcollar, whether it is pony, cob, full or warmblood size.
What is this rope best for?
It is designed for groundwork and in-hand training, and for leading a horse while you are riding. The 3m length also works well for everyday leading and tying up on the yard.
What is the faux leather tail for?
The 25cm tail adds a little weight to the end of the rope, which helps it hang neatly, and gives the rope a smart finish.
How do I clean a woven lead rope?
Wipe the faux leather tail with a damp cloth and let the rope air dry away from direct heat. Check the clip, stitching and rope for wear regularly and replace the rope if any part is damaged.
Is a 3m rope too long for general leading?
No, provided you gather the slack in folds across your palm. The extra length is what makes it useful for groundwork, and it can simply be held shorter for walking to and from the field.
