How To: Tie Up a Lead Rope

   Ever see lead ropes all wrapped up in fancy show barns making the halters look so neat and organized? Wrapping up your lead rope is not only a good way to keep your horse's stall front looking nice but it also an easy way to keep extra lead ropes from getting tangled.  Read below for the easy steps to tie up your lead rope.

---

Start with your lead rope fully straightened out and free of knots.

---

Fold over a small section of the lead rope, less than 1/4. 

---

Start wrapping the extra rope around the folded over section starting at the top. Make sure to hold the top tightly until you have wrapped it a couple of times. 

---

Go around, and around, and around.

---

Wrap until you get to the bottom, leave a small loop.

---

Tuck the end through the loop at the bottom.

All done! Looking good!
