KM Elite Double Braided Lead Rope - Navy

KM Elite Double Braided Cotton Lead Rope – Navy

Navy is the workhorse colour in KM Elite's cotton double braid range: dark enough to stay presentable through a winter, smart enough to take to a show without apologising for it. The rope is round cotton in a tight double braid with a brass plated swivel bolt snap.

It is the one colour KM Elite braid at both of the lengths they make, which is worth knowing when you order. The length is not stated on this listing, and the specification below sets out plainly what is and is not confirmed.

Performance & Benefits

• Navy, the colour that stays looking right longest on a working yard.
• Round cotton double braid, with a core inside a braided outer sleeve.
• Enough weight to hang straight and feed out without kinking.
• Brass plated swivel bolt snap, corrosion resistant and free to turn.
• Soft cotton, comfortable on bare hands in cold weather.

Suitable For

• Everyday leading, bringing in and turning out.
• Tying up for grooming, tacking up and the farrier.
• Showing and competition, where navy passes anywhere.
• Matching a navy KM Elite Padded Headcollar.
• If you specifically want the long rope for work in hand, order the KM Elite Double Braided Cotton Lead Rope 10ft, where the length is confirmed.

How to Use

• Clip the swivel bolt snap to the back ring of the headcollar, under the jaw.
• Lead from the near side, hand about 30cm below the clip, spare rope folded flat.
• Wash in warm water with a mild detergent and hang to dry fully.
• Hang by the clip so the braid dries through and does not go stiff.

Specification

• Round cotton, double braided construction, navy.
• Brass plated swivel bolt snap, corrosion resistant and swivelling.
• SKU 1001913. Barcode 5060171234494.
• Length is not stated on this listing. KM Elite braid navy at both 7ft (2.13m) and 10ft (3.05m), so no length is claimed above.
• KM Elite publish no rope diameter, weight or breaking strain for this lead, so none is stated here.

Care & Caution

• Never wrap the rope around your hand, wrist or waist. Cotton grips skin and burns it if the horse pulls away.
• Tie to a loop of breakable baler twine with a quick-release knot, never directly to a gate, ring or post.
• Do not leave a horse tied unattended, and do not leave the rope clipped on in the field.
