Lead Chain, 1″ x 20″

A lead chain earns its keep the day a colt tests the rope, or when a big gelding decides he'd rather be back at the barn. Twenty inches of chain gives you a hold he can feel without cranking on his head, and it takes the wear that chews through an all-rope lead.

A bolt snap on one end and a strap loop on the other let it replace a worn chain on a lead you already trust or go onto one you build yourself. Keep one hanging by the gate and one in the trailer and you're never caught short.

Highlights

• Steady control of a horse that leans on you
• Bolt snap on one end, strap loop on the other
• 20 in length gives you room to work
• Replaces a worn chain on a good lead
• Handy spare for the trailer or tack room

Good to know

• Look over the links where the chain meets the halter before every ride. That's where wear shows up first.
• Pair it with a rope clamp and ring hitch plate when you build your own lead from scratch.

Tuck a spare in the tack room so a worn-out lead never keeps you from loading out.
