Included with HITS conference attendance. No separate purchase required.











This lead is by far the best trailing lead available. There are knock offs, but ours are the original. Ours are also thicker and of higher quality leather. Our long leads average 9.5 mm after being triple stretched and tested for strength. Our family hand braids them at our SC facility and then oil them lightly for you with their first wipe down in Neetsfoot oil before shipping.
I wrote about this lead in each of my books; I feel that strongly about it. The feel of the dog on the end of the lead is amazing. Nylon or rubber simply do not have that feel or connection to the dog; try it once and you will know. There is a reason all of the best reatas and horse reins are made of leather...the feel! Other strong qualities are that leather loops easily, knots and tangles with difficulty, and actually has very little stretch. By far the best trait is that when the dog runs hard, the lead will not scorch your hand like nylon! Believe it or not, high end belting leather can last the life of the user if maintained properly. My original long lead is now 20 years old and has thousands of trails to its credit.





Prize details







All leads are hand-made to order and may take 3 weeks to make. If you use expedited shipping it will not change the lead making time. It could be one week and it could be three. The time frame is based on current orders. We are experiencing huge shipping delays in raw leather. Our leather is 9.5 to 10.55 mm, the thickest in the industry and does not come from every cow. It is very specialized and now due to shipping delays worldwide, the raw material is harder to come by. We make them as fast as we get the leather.
