Thanks for all your replys! I'm going to do as most of you recomend, shorten the lead! I never did like letting it touch the ground (you'd NEVER do that showing horses like i've done most of my life!), but i did what i thought i'd seen a lot of American / Canadians do showing beef cattle. But after studying more pictures i have seen that the end of the lead is actualy a little bit above the ground. So thanks so much for your help!
Hi from Sweden! Can you help me? Which is right when setting up for the judge? End of lead on ground (As i've seen in lots of pictures from shows in both Canadian and American Hereford journals) or should i make a medium size loop with the lead so it doesn't touch the ground? When i lead the animal, i have a loop of about 30cm so that i don't have the end of the lead around my legs. I have a usual leather show halter - made in the USA.
All replies are gratefully recieved!
Thanks for the replies so far! (But i do not mean that i wrap the lead around my hand. I have a big loop and my hand is on top of the loop with little finger closest to the animals head.) I think i'm going to find a shorter lead for next time so i don't need any loops! It looks too buldgy if you know what i mean!
