How to Use
- Fit the headcollar correctly, allowing roughly two fingers' width under the noseband and cheekpiece.
- Clip the lead rope to the ring beneath the headcollar's jaw, checking the clip has closed fully.
- Hold the rope in folds in your hand - never loop it around your hand, wrist or fingers.
- Lead from the horse's near side, walking at the shoulder with a relaxed contact.
- When tying up, use a quick-release knot attached to a loop of breakable string, never directly to a solid fixing.
- After use, brush off mud, rinse in cool water if needed and hang to dry naturally.
FAQ
How long is the Waldhausen Shine Lead Rope?
It is 2m long, a standard everyday length for leading and tying up.
Will it fit my horse's headcollar?
Yes - the clip attaches to the ring on any standard headcollar, so it works with horse, cob and pony sizes.
Is 2m long enough for lunging or groundwork?
No. A 2m rope is intended for leading, tying and in-hand handling. For lunging or longer groundwork exercises, use a dedicated lunge line or training rope.
How do I clean the lead rope?
Brush off dried mud, rinse in cool water if required and allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat or radiators.
Can I use it for showing and in-hand classes?
The plaited rope and rose gold fittings give a tidy, coordinated finish that suits in-hand presentation as well as everyday yard use.
When should I replace a lead rope?
Inspect the plait, stitching and clip regularly and replace the rope if any part is frayed, stretched or the clip no longer closes securely.
