This lead is composed of 28 inches of hand spliced nylon rope connected to 88 inches of flat nylon lead. The total length of the rope is 9.5 feet allowing the handler to use a variety of leading techniques. The weight of the rope end helps to provide a connection with the handler, the wider flat nylon is perfect for giving refined signals.
A lightweight but strong brass clip is hand-spliced into the rope, making a smooth, very lightweight lead. Zephyr leads do NOT have a swivel. Swivels create a disconnect between your and your animal and make it much harder to use the lead to make important changes in your animals balance. This is particularly important when you are working up close as in the show ring.
*PLEASE NOTE: The lightweight brass boat hook clip on the Zephyr leads are not intended for use in tying difficult or untrained animals, for use in a restraint device or for restraint of any kind. The clip will break under that kind of strain. Zephyr leads are designed primarily for refined leading.
