I have 5 pairs of these now. 3 pairs of 6', and 2 pairs of 5'. I use them to show and they work great. The extra long ones were great for my long necked gelding, and my short necked mare uses the 5' one. The roller buckles are an added bonus because of how easy they are, but it also gives me a little bit more adjustablity. I've also got an extra long pair on one of my Western bridle for trail riding. They won't fall of my horn if I hook them there and I can split them up to use as a lead if I need to.
