Orange reads clearly at a distance, which earns its keep on a busy yard where four horses are tied along the same wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCotton is the reason to buy this rather than a poly rope — it is softer to hold in cold weather and far kinder to bare hands if a horse throws its head. The trade-off is that cotton holds water, so it wants hanging up to dry rather than being dropped in a wet corner of the barn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7ft (2.13m), the general-purpose length for leading and tying up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound cotton double braid, with a core inside a braided outer sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrange is easy to identify at a distance and against most coat colours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass plated swivel bolt snap that turns to keep the rope from twisting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKinder on bare hands in winter than a synthetic braid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaily leading, bringing in and turning out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTying up for grooming, clipping and the farrier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBusy yards where several ropes hang on the same rail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who prefers a bright rope for visibility on a road or in a dark barn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot enough rope for in-hand work at a distance — the KM Elite Double Braided Cotton Lead Rope 10ft is the longer option.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClip the swivel bolt snap to the back ring of the headcollar, under the jaw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead from the near side, hand about 30cm below the clip, spare rope folded flat rather than looped.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash in warm water with a mild detergent and hang the rope up to dry fully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not store it damp; cotton left wet goes stiff and smells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 7ft (2.13m).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound cotton, tight double braided construction, orange.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass plated swivel bolt snap, corrosion resistant and swivelling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU 1001915.
