Button loop with knotted eye

Price: $8.00

I got the idea for this product from someone who was not satisfied with the poor quality of the one she had - rope clamps, cheap rope, etc. She asked if I could make something similar but better .... so I did! She does rescue work with her horse so she needs to be able to get down and lead or tie her horse quickly and then untie him and re-mount just as fast. With this "quick snap get-down rope", she can quickly go from leading to riding and visa versa. This is a great piece of equipment for anyone to have, especially when trail riding and/or if your saddle does not have a horn.

This lead rope has a pair of interlocking rings about 2' from one end. They are moveable so you can adjust the configuration of the set-up but will stay in place once the rings are locked. The double ring system only works with the 1/2" rope. You can choose from the normal options for the halter end - eye splice, button, or snap. The other end loops around the horse's neck and connects to the ring which is at the chest. You can choose a snap or button loop connector for this end.

When you need to get down and lead your horse or tie him up, simply undo the snap or button loop and pull the rope off his neck. When it's time to mount up, loop the rope around his neck and connect to the ring.

The interlocking rings do not work with the 1/4" rope so one ring is tied in with an overhand knot. You can adjust the position when the rope is new but the overhand knot will become difficult to move after some use.

Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen.
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God,

so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.

open - insert through D ring

The customer I made this for had lost the one she had and wanted another one similar but could not find it anywhere... until she found Y Knot Rope Tack! She wanted the heavy duty ring and snaps because she uses it as a mounting aid, neck rein and ponying lead among other uses. Each section can be used independently as needed - the short section can be removed from the large brass ring. It is made with 1/2" rope, the longer section is 6' long, the short section is about 2' long and is attached to the large ring with a flat braid eye spliced loop. Large brass bolt snaps are spliced in permanently on the ends and the 2" brass ring is spliced in on the long section. Although this was a custom order, I can make more like it and you can choose your colors, hardware, etc. Price for this item is $54.00.

You will need some type of tether to keep the rope from sliding down the neck if your horse lowers his head. You can run the rope through your martingale or breast collar tugs if you use either of those. Or - I make an optional tether that you can attach to your saddle and easily feed the lead rope through. The option made with 1/4" rope works well around the horn or pommel of a western saddle. The braiding cord option works with D rings. Both options are adjustable.

The most common length is about 7' for an average size horse. That will give you a 5' loop for around the neck and about a 2' section from the chest to the halter. Choose whatever combination of snaps you want for the halter end and the tail end and if you want them spliced in or on an eye splice. Some snap options are shown here. Options for the rings: stainless steel or solid brass. For more snap options and details, click here to go to About the Hardware

The button loop connector is permanently attached to the rope so it won't come off. Just slide the ring knot to open and close the button hole.

The price will depend on the options you choose, how long you want your get-down rope, and if you need a tether - described below.
