The Steve Lantvit lead with snap is made from double braid polyester 5/8" (also known as yacht braid). Approx. 12 ft long with a 1-1/8-inch Heavy Duty Metal Swivel Bolt Snap. Our brass plated swivel snaps will resist corrosion and freezing so that you can be sure they will stand up in rain, snow, and humidity, while maintaining their strength and integrity. Our leads are made by my wife Jenn right here in the US. These leads give plenty of feel when working with a horse.
