Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite 10ft Poly Lead Rope is designed for equestrians, polo players, and horse owners who require extra reach and durability during daily handling, turnout, or arena work. Its primary benefit lies in its robust poly construction, which offers superior strength compared to traditional cotton ropes and is significantly less prone to damage from chewing. While its 10ft length provides excellent control and safety, users should be aware that the added length requires careful management to avoid tangling during storage or transit.

FAQs
Is this lead rope suitable for everyday turnout?
Yes, its durable poly construction is designed for the rigors of daily handling and turnout.
Will the brass clip rust?
The clip is made from solid brass, which is highly corrosion-resistant, though it should be wiped clean after exposure to salt or harsh conditions.
Why choose poly over cotton?
Poly is significantly stronger, more durable, and less appetizing for horses to chew on compared to traditional cotton ropes.
How long is the rope exactly?
It is 10ft in length, which is approximately 3.05 meters.
Can I use this for lunging?
While it provides good length, it is primarily designed as a lead rope; ensure you maintain appropriate control for your specific horse.
Troubleshooting
Clip mechanism feels stiff
Rinse the clip thoroughly with warm water to remove debris or dried mud and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.
Rope is tangled or knotted
Untie knots immediately to prevent them from tightening. Coil the rope loosely in a clockwise direction to prevent future twisting.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Rinse with warm water and mild soap to remove dirt and sweat. Air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain material integrity.
- Storage: Always coil the lead neatly when not in use. Avoid leaving it on the ground in the field, as it may collect grit or become a trip hazard.
