Where can I get some to attach to a halter for ride and lead training round the farm once I am ready. Normal lead ropes just not long enough.
I agree, I don't like nylon. All of mine are cotton, or something natural feeling and soft anyway.I personally don’t like most of the NH type ropes because they’re braided nylon, which will give you a rope burn fast if things get sticky and I find 14ft too long on the trail.
I have had 3m (10ft) long jumbo cotton ropes for about the last 20 years, they’re long enough for most stuff (regular lead ropes are 2m/6ft).
For long rides I don’t carry a lead rope (it’s just unnecessary weight to carry and every gram counts), I just have my reins fitted to scissor clips so I can use those, both my continental English ones and my western split ones.
I’ve had rope burns when the rope has gone right through the glove, it’s no guarantee.
