My Training Leads are made of 1/2" spliceable polyester rope ( commonly called Yacht Braid or Marine Rope). It gives superior strength, weight and feel. I use polyester rope instead of nylon because it is almost 20% heavier per foot than a comparable sized nylon with less stretch. Polyester is also more resistant to the ultraviolet rays of the sun and is 3 to 4 times more abrasion resistant.
This means you are buying a lead with more feel and weight that will stand up better to the harmful effects of the sun and normal use!
Straight Yacht Leads
The straight yacht leads ends are properly back spliced with one end finished with a latigo leather popper and the other a tassle. Attach it to the halter with a sheet bend or double sheet bend knot. Each lead comes with photos showing the attachment to the halter. Standard lengths are 12' and 22'. Contact me for any variations.
Custom Lengths are available, please contact Greg directly with your dimensions. They are priced at a $4.00 base plus $1.00 per foot.
Eye Loop Yacht Leads
The looped end is my personal favorite. It can be attached to the halter with no hardware and it can have a snap attached for a traditional approah. The other end is properly back spliced and finished with a latigo leather popper. Each lead comes with photos showing the attachment to the halter and snap. Standard lengths are 12' and 22'. Contact me for any special variations.
