Has anyone else found that lead ropes are just not made how they used to be?!
When I was about 7 (13 years ago) I spent my pocket money on a purple lead rope. I didn't even have my own horse at this point and had only just started having lessons but I thought it was the best thing in the world. I then got my own ponies and of course could start to use it.
I've found that over the years I have bought numerous lead ropes (mainly in more appropriate colours for the geldings I've owned - not that they give 2 hoots) and every single one has broken or disintegrated in a ridiculously short amount of time, resulting in me going back to this trusty old purple lead rope - its indestructible!
Has anyone else found the quality of them rapidly declining in recent years? It's not even that I only buy the cheap ones, some I have paid a fair amount for in the hope they would last but no such luck!
