KM Elite Double Braided Lead Rope 7Ft - Raspberry

KM Elite Double Braided Cotton Lead Rope – 7ft, Raspberry

Raspberry is the deepest pink KM Elite offer in this rope, dark enough to stay respectable on a yard where a pale colour would look grubby by Wednesday. The construction is their round cotton double braid, 7ft or 2.13m from clip to end.

The cotton is soft from new — there is no breaking-in period of the sort a stiff poly rope needs — and the brass plated swivel bolt snap is corrosion resistant, which counts if the rope lives clipped to a headcollar hanging beside a wet stable door.

Performance & Benefits

• 7ft (2.13m), the everyday length for leading and tying up.
• Deep raspberry pink, which holds up against yard dirt better than the pale shades.
• Round cotton double braid, soft in the hand from the first use.
• Brass plated swivel bolt snap, corrosion resistant and free to turn.
• Tight braid that keeps its shape rather than flattening with use.

Suitable For

• Daily leading, turning out and bringing in.
• Tying up for grooming, tacking up and the farrier.
• Horses living out, where a pale rope would not last a week looking smart.
• Matching a raspberry KM Elite Padded Headcollar.
• Not enough rope for groundwork at a distance — the KM Elite Double Braided Cotton Lead Rope 10ft is the one for that.

How to Use

• Clip the swivel bolt snap to the back ring of the headcollar, under the jaw.
• Lead from the near side with your hand roughly 30cm below the clip, slack folded flat.
• Wash in warm water with a mild detergent and hang to dry fully.
• Hang the rope by its clip rather than leaving it coiled on the floor.

Care & Caution

• Never wrap the rope around your hand, wrist or waist — cotton burns skin badly if a horse pulls away against it.
• Tie to a loop of breakable baler twine with a quick-release knot, never directly to a solid fixed object.
• Do not leave a horse tied unattended, and remove the rope before turning out.
