Choosing Horse Cotton Leads Cotton -- Leads that are made of cotton have been used for a long time and are very popular. They are durable, yet gentler on the hands. Hardware -- Select leads that are made of a good quality material and have sturdy, rust-resistant hardware. Coordinating colors -- Leads come in many of the same colors that halters can be purchased in, for a nice matching set that will look great at your next show.
For safe and effective handling of your horse, a lead used with a proper halter will provide the control you need.
