Lead Ropes are 14 ft long to be able to also lunge your horse in a small circle to get the fresh off your horse if the need arises. My Lead Ropes are a better fit in your hand because of a smaller 3/8 in diameter yacht rope. This Lead Rope is strong and durable in all types of weather since we ride, train, show our horses in all types of weather. My lightweight Lead Ropes are made of yacht rope to enhance the communication between human and horse. The yacht rope has a bounce to it that can travel down the rope with the slightest movement even if you are at the end of the rope for a wonderful connection of communication. My Clinicians Lead Rope is attached to a swivel quick snap with a beautiful, amazing crown knot. I use the quick snap with a swivel because it is easier to use when you just have one hand, and don't we always have something in our hands like buckets or ribbons. The finished end of the 14 ft Lead Rope is your choice of either a stopper knot or a leather popper.
