Horse Lead Ropes
A horse lead rope attaches to your horse’s halter and can be used for leading, tying up, training, or showing your horse. Horse leads come in a variety of materials, including cotton, nylon, leather, and synthetics. Choose from a few different types for great looks, strength and hand comfort including:
- Lead rope: Although the term can be used to refer to all types of leads, a lead rope is often round and braided like rope
- Lead line: This refers specifically to a flat lead made of nylon webbing or leather—usually lighter and sometimes more comfortable in the hand, these aren’t always good for tying
- Lead shank: Also known as a lead chain, this consists of a lead line with a chain end—usually used for difficult horses, in-hand showing, or training. A lead shank does not have to have a chain; however, a chain lead shank always does.
Choose a lead rope that’s the right length for your needs—horse leads come in different lengths for things like general use, tying, lunging, and training. You may also prefer leads in different styles or materials for different uses. Chewy has a wide selection of horse leads of all types, so you should have no trouble finding the perfect ones for your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions about Horse Lead Ropes
What are horse leads?
Horse lead are essential pieces of tack used for leading horses or tying them. Available in a variety of materials and lengths, they attach to your horse’s halter for easy communication and control. Despite their name, they may be either flat or rope-like in shape and texture.
How long should a horse lead rope be?
A horse lead rope should be long enough to allow free movement, but short enough to allow for communication and control. The ideal length will vary depending on things like the lead’s intended use, the horse’s size and temperament, and the handler’s preferences. For everyday use, lengths between 8-12 feet are common, but longer or shorter ones may be used for specialized pursuits.
How much weight can a horse lead rope hold?
The amount of weight a horse lead rope can hold will vary widely. Factors like the material and dimensions of the lead, as well as the strength of the clip or snap, will affect how much weight your horse’s lead can withstand without breaking. If you need an extra-strong lead, be sure to choose one with a high tensile strength and sturdy hardware.
