MORE BENEFITS OF THE LITTLE JOE LEAD ROPES:
Our extra-long lead ropes are great for everyday ground work. They are also very useful for emergency ground work (when you have to dismount to drive a horse over a trail obstacle, for example, or work the kinks out of an energetic horse), for grazing, or for emergency conversion into reins if the bridle breaks.
The LittleJoe halter has a loop at the throatlatch. When you are ready to ride, move the lead rope clip to this loop. This keeps the lead rope from swinging back and forth, especially at a trot or canter. It also removes the weight of the rope and clip from the horse’s nose and allows him to balance his head more freely.
Does Your Horse Pull Back?
Does your horse frequently pull back when tied, breaking his halters or lead rope clips? The use of breakaway halters just rewards the horse for pulling back, which can become a very dangerous habit.
Our clipless lead rope is:
- An extremely useful training aid
- When used with a 4mm or 5mm halter, eliminates weak points – very few horses can break free
- Teaches the horse that pulling is useless
- Provides a permanent connection to the halter for those who prefer it
- Knot can be removed even after months of use (and pulling!)
NOTE: When using the clipless lead rope as a training tool, we strongly recommend that you tie the horse to something with a little give to it. Most commonly, a tractor tire or inner tube is fastened to a strong hitching post or tree, and then the horse is tied to the tire. This way he will learn that pulling back is useless, but he won’t hurt his neck or back in the process. See the process illustrated here.
