Designed specifically for schooling from the ground, these 30-foot (10-metre) lines come in a set of two. They are “cushion web” lines constructed of lightweight nylon over a cotton core with a brass snap.
They are weighted on the tail end for easy casting. The buttery soft material is easy on the hands and offers maximum durability.
How do Lead Lines differ from round ropes? Soft – cushioned cotton core and special soft nylon, double stitched to last, Easier to hold than round ropes – any size hand can get a good grip. Super strong nylon doesn’t break down in dirt and moisture. Brightly coloured for easy identification of length.
This extrinsic training equipment works on the horse’s mind to motivate forward motion. The Giddy-Up Rope is a length of thick braided yarn held by the rider with his elbow against his side while swinging it from left to right rapidly behind the rider’s legs. The Giddy-Up introduces movement to the peripheral vision of the horse. This movement will be perceived by the horse to be dangerous, and yet no pain comes of it. The horse is likely to advance quickly, moving away from the perceived intruder.
Its a fundamental responsibility to train your horse to find value in standing still. These lessons from Monty’s Equus Online University clearly guide you through the process until your horse is ready and standing still for the farrier or the veterinarian, as well as grooming, saddling, and other activities.
