Parachute Cord Leadropes

luvmypercheron · 11-26-2006, 08:44 PM

hey everyone! just wanted to let everyone know about the leadropes we're starting to sell. they are made of 8 strands of parachute cord which holds a minimum of 3200lbs.
special introductory price for an 8ft leadrope is $15. many colors availible. here are just some of our leads to show some of the colors! these are the only leadropes we use.

Are they soft? I need something that Vogue will NOT break, but I have a feeling the hardware on these will snap just as easily as on the others.

soft? well they are parachute cord....not sure how to describe them. they are pliable. Cyn has one that i sent her last year. she may be able to describe it better. the hooks on these are small as those pictured were new ones we'd just made all the minis. hardware we can use anything really, just somtimes it effects the cost.
the one my percheron has is 10ft in length and has heavier hardware.

haha. if they really want to they will break anything! Folly figured out that if she shakes her head really hard and fast the snap will come unfastened and she is free! hahahaha, i just stood there and laughed at her the first time this happened!!! not undermining the idea of parachute cord (it's great to use durable materials), just replying to Jess!

Would you be able to make one with an eye-slice end? That way I can connect it to the halter by itself, and not with any hardware.

I'd rather that the lead broke then the horse's neck.

seems like a good idea for trailering or trying on trail rides

My horse pulls because she knows she can break it.

She does not pull because she is frightened.

Therefore, I need one that won't break.

Have you made any with a chain and snap?
