LEAD ROPES & LONGE LINES
|
|
All my lead ropes and longe lines are made from the finest quality soft, marine grade double braided nylon rope you can buy. There is an inner core of braided rope covered by an outer core of braided rope. This gives the rope a "live" feel which you can use to send energy, direction, and feel to your horse. Contrary to what you read, nylon rope does not stretch, does not get "bigger over use" and does not become stiff over time. What nylon rope does not do is cause rope burn that polyester is known for. What it DOES do is wear like a pair of favorite jeans. Lead ropes come in 1/2" diameter. Lengths are 12' or 14', or custom lengths upon request. The 22 ' longe comes in 1/2" diameter. These lead ropes and longes are rot resistant, resist abrasion, won't twist, are supple and washable (though precautions need to be taken to minimize shrinking), both the eye and back splices are hand sewn to prevent "unraveling", and there is a latigo leather popper on the end. You are able to attach either of the styles of snaps, to our lead ropes. The best way to attach this lead rope to the halter is to thread the lead rope through the fiador knot loop on the bottom of the halter Directions Here. If you purchase both a halter and lead rope from me, I will attach the two together upon request.
1/2" Premium Lead $30.00 - $32.00
NHS HORSEMAN LEAD ROPES & LONGE LINES Natural Horse Supply (NHS) Horsemanship lead ropes and longe lines... this style of lead rope is very popular with many of the trainers and clinicians who use this type of training tool. These lead ropes and longe lines are distinguished from our other leads and longes by the attached snap. The snap is solid brass with a swivel catch mechanism that is extremely strong but designed to break under panic. See rope description above to understand the unique quality of nylon rope v. Polyester. The splices are all hand sewn for extra strength.
These lead ropes come in 1/2" diameter, 12', 14' or 22' length with a leather popper at the end.(I do not put a loop in place of popper for safety reasons. It's too easy to get a foot tangled up in a "handle" end).
12' & 14' X 1/2" NHS Horseman Lead Rope $37.00 - $39.00 22' X 1/2" NHS Horseman Longe Line $47.50 I've had so many requests for the good old fashion swivel snap that I figured it was time to add them to the mix. Built out of the same marine rope as all my other products, these leads and longes are meant to lighten the load if you find the twist brass snap too heavy and cumbersome. This is solid brass and only 3½" long which is big enough for ease of clipping on to your halter but stays light enough to not interrupt feel during use. Sometimes, less is more. Available in 12', 14' & 22' (longe) NHS Old Fashion Lead $33.50 -$35.50 NHS Old Fashion 22' Longe $47.50

NEW! Tired of broken snaps that can't be replaced? Me too. Based on the NHS Horsemanship longe line, this new lead offers an alternative to a spliced on snap with a double ended regular slide snap that measures approx. 4" long. I'm calling it as a cross between the horseman, the old fashion and the horsemanship designs. Available in both solid brass and nickel plate on either black or white/blue tracer "' rope. The rope has a 1¼" ring spliced on. The double ended snap attaches to the ring. If it breaks, you will not lose your entire lead since these snaps can be found in any hardware store for replacements. I'm fairly certain the ring will not break as long as you don't allow your horse to step on it. The snaps and ring make for a fairly light weight attachment for those who don't like the weight of the barrel snaps. Double end snap lead $35.50-$37.50

This style below uses a 2"-2¼" inch ring is built into the end with a heavy duty caribiner clip. The ring size depends on what I have in stock. The splices are all carefully hand sewn for extra strength and durability. 22' NHS Horsemanship Longe Line $47.50 |
