Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Why is a 7-foot length better for minis than a standard 10-foot rope?A: Standard ropes are often too long for miniature horses, creating dangerous loops that can lead to tripping. This 7-foot design provides ample control while keeping the rope off the ground and manageable for smaller handlers. Q: Will the snap get stuck or rust if it gets wet?A: No, the solid brass 225 snap is naturally rust-proof and corrosion-resistant. This ensures smooth operation and a secure connection even when exposed to rain, mud, or stall moisture. Q: Is the rope material stiff when it first arrives?A: Not at all. This lead is made from premium polypropylene, which is specifically chosen for its soft, supple texture that feels perfectly broken-in from day one. Item Number/SKU: 35-2130-S12
