LEAD ROPES & LONGE LINES |
|
My premium 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. Lead ropes come in either 1/2" or 5/8" diameter. Lenghts of 12' long, 14' long, or custom lengths upon request. The 22 ' lead comes in 1/2". The 45" lead comes in 7/16" diameter rope which is perfect for taking some of the weight out without losing heft in your hand. Lead ropes are available in black or white witht a blue tracer and a leather popper at the end. Chooosing the diameter and length comes down to personal preference; the 5/8" lead rope is a better training tool, but if you are planning on riding with the lead rope as a rein, you should consider the 1/2" lead rope. Note that the 5/8" measures more like 3/4" and is quite weighty. The 22 foot lead rope can be used as a longe line, or mecate rein with your halter in addition to being one of the best groundwork tools available. This effectively gives you a rope hackamore for riding your horse with these training tools. These lead ropes and longes are rot resistant, resist abrasion, won't twist, are supple, and washable, both the eye and back splices are hand sewn to prevent "unraveling", and there is a leather popper on the end. You are able to attach either of the styles of snaps, to our lead ropes, but this can cause you to lose energy in the rope with a snap. 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. If you purchase both a halter and lead rope from me, I will attach the two together upon request so that you can see how it works or for full instructions, go to this link attach your lead to learn how to do it yourself. It's very easy.... All the products on this page except for the 45' longes and anything made from 7/16" rope are now availble in white with blue tracer rope as shown below. It's the same high quality, double braid nylon as the other, only in the ever popular white!
Premium Lead Ropes & Longe Line 12' X1/2" Premium Lead $28.00 14' X 1/2"Premium Lead $30.00 12' X 5/8" Premium Lead
$33.50
22' X 1/2' Premium Longe Line $41.00
Consider getting a brass safety snap (sold separately
on the accessories
page) to attach to the ½" premium lead ropes as shown below.
NOTE: The 1/2" lead rope fits the ring on the snap better than the 5/8" lead rope. The 5/8" rope is an extremely tight fit and is better suited to a tradinal heavy duty slide swivel snap with a 1¼" - 1½" inside diameter ring which can be purchased at any feed store (see example below). I do not sell the type of snap below on the site at this time.
This is a great alternative to the Hosreman Lead ropes for the simple reason that if the snap breaks (which they are designed to do under panic or heavy stress for safety purposes) you don't lose your entire lead rope as the snap can easily be replaced. However, the ensemble is a bit bulky compared to the Horseman lead ropes....this is purely customer preference. I do sell this type of snap on the accesories page.

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 (or stainless steel...see note below) with a swivel catch mechanism that is extremely strong but designed to break under panic. Note: The stainless snap is much stronger than the brass and is not gurarnteed to break under panic so please keep this in mind if you choose to order the lead rope with the stainless steel snap. We use 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. The splices are all hand sewn for extra strength but, be warned, even with the extra stitching, all the care and thinking I can put into them, these particular lead ropes wear out in time and snaps cannot be put back on once they break unless you don't care about ending up with a shorter lead. The splice holding the snap is under tremendous stress that may give out after only a few years of service. I recommend the premium lead rope with the snap attached as shown above but still offer these due to their enormous popularity..
These style of lead ropes come in either 1/2" or 5/8" diameter, 12', 14' or 22' length with a leather popper at the end.The 45" longe line comes in 7/16" diameter rope which helps reduce the weight without losing much heft in the hand. Chooosing the diameter and length comes down to personal preference; the 5/8" lead rope is a better training tool, but if you are planning on riding with the lead rope as a rein, you should consider the 1/2" lead rope. .
