Greyhound or Lurcher Hare Coursing Slip Leads

Greyhound or Lurcher Hare Coursing Slip Leads

These were used to restrain the coursing greyhounds by the slipper; once the hare passed the shy on the coursing field it was given 100 yards ‘law’ (headstart) before the hounds were slipped simultaneously. The object being to turn the hare to achieve points, not to kill it

Good, original condition, fully complete and functional. Leather has been oiled and there are fine cracks in leather surface. Long since banned by law, these serve as relics of a bygone age.
