Cotton lead ropes are a must for any horse owner. I have an arabian which tends to freak out over everything and with out warning which has resulted in a couple of rope burns. The cotton helps eliminate that. They are thick and sturdy and come in a variety of colors.

Pros: soft

Cons: absorbs water

I prefer the cotton leads to nylon because they are much easier on your hands and if your hands are dirty or wet, the lead rope doesn't slide through your hands. I also like the way it hangs better too.

Pros: Soft to handle

Cons: Durability

This is a really great lead, It is one of my favorites around the barn, It is soooooo comfortable to work with and I like that they are pretty good sized for grip!

Pros: EVERYTHING

Cons: NOTHING

way better than a cotton lead. if you have a unruly horse like mine you need something to hold on to thats not going to burn your hands.

Pros: good and strong

Cons: none

As was already mentioned, cotton leads are much more gentle on the hands compared to nylon leads. Plus, they work well with the horses. I definitely recommend them!

Pros: no injury to hands, works great with horse

Cons: none
