Our 12-foot lead rope allows you to work directly with your horse without the interference of hardware, such as snaps or buckles, banging around his face. We use 5/8-inch marine-quality braided nylon rope, and our halter end is back braided and stitched for additional strength and durability. The lead end features 8-inch premium-grade latigo strings. This is the last lead you will ever have to buy!
