Waldhausen Foal Lead Rope 1.8m Braided Tie Rope
Description
Waldhausen Foal Lead Rope - Braided 1.8m Tie Rope With Small Carabiner
The Waldhausen Foal Lead Rope is a 1.8 metre braided tie rope fitted with a small carabiner clip that hooks easily into the small rings on foal headcollars. It is best for owners and studs handling foals and youngsters, where a full-size adult lead rope clip is simply too bulky for the halter hardware.
The braided rope has a firm, rounded feel in the hand, making it practical for early leading lessons, walking in-hand and tying up for grooming, farrier and vet visits.

How to Use
- Fit the foal headcollar correctly, checking you can slide two fingers under the noseband.
- Open the small carabiner and clip it into the ring under the foal's chin.
- Check the clip has closed fully before you begin leading.
- Hold the rope in one hand a short distance from the clip, with the slack folded in the other hand - never looped around your fingers or wrist.
- When tying up, use a quick-release knot and tie to a breakable loop of string rather than directly to a solid fixing.
- After use, allow the rope to dry naturally and check the braid and clip for wear.

FAQ
How long is the Waldhausen Foal Lead Rope?
It is 1.8 metres long, which is a manageable length for leading and tying a foal or youngster.
Will it fit a full size horse headcollar?
It is designed for small halter rings on foal headcollars. The carabiner is small, so on a cob or full size headcollar with larger, thicker rings it may not clip on. Choose a standard adult lead rope for those sizes.
What type of clip does it have?
A small carabiner clip, which hooks quickly and easily into small rings.
What is the rope made from?
It is a braided rope, giving a firm, rounded feel in the hand.
Can it be used as a tie rope?
Yes, it is described as a tie rope. Always use a quick-release knot and tie to a loop of breakable string rather than directly to a solid post or ring.
How do I care for it?
Allow it to dry naturally after wet use and check the braid and carabiner regularly, replacing the rope if the braid frays or the clip no longer closes cleanly.
