We all have our favorite snap, and that’s a topic for another day. 12’ is perfect for securing those horses and mules to a proper height highline on uneven ground. 12’ allows you plenty of length to tie your animal up on the trail while you adjust a load, have lunch, snap a picture, or take that much needed biological break. Who cares they’re junk!!!Ī good lead rope needs to be 12’ long, this allows you to have plenty of rope to tie your stock together in your string. It was only a buck at this yard sale or I got 2 for a dollar at the thrift store. He was all proud of every whiz bang deal he found and would always let me know that bargain price. I almost got choked up and it almost made me cry because I gave Bud so much crap over the miles about his lead rope selection. He said “Let me get his halter and lead rope, Dad would want you to have it too.” He brought out an old stiff halter that really didn’t fit and this short piece of crap lead rope. When we went to pick him up, Bud’s son met me at the ranch and after chatting about his dad for a bit. As many of you know my good friend and long-time packing partner Bud passed away earlier this year. This lead rope issue reared its ugly head just the other day. I don’t get it…the cheapest piece of tack you can buy and yet we pull them out of trash cans at the trailhead, pick them up for a dollar at a yard sale, or just keep them way, way, way too long. It’s a junkie old lead rope… No really, it doesn’t matter if it’s too short, old and stiff, rusty snap broke, and tied back together…Did I mention too short!!! I hate a short lead rope. I’m going to share the one right at the top of my list.

I know you’re shocked!!! I know it’s hard to believe that I let anything get under my skin as laid back and easy going as I am, but it’s true. I have a lot of pet peeves when it comes to trail riding, packing, and just caring for your stock.
