I have several extra lead ropes...what are some ways to reuse them?

I have one basic lead rope that I use for all my needs, plus I just bought one to match my horse's new halter, so I have more than I need and they just take up space. Any ideas on how to put them to good use? I don't use them for leading anymore.

Update:

@Shalazar - you're very funny!

    Decor for jumps.

    Put them on some trees if you go trail riding to "bomb-poof your horse or even make a new trail with markers.

    Use some as a Stall guard

    You can use them to hang pails for nice quick on and off with the snap, or use them to tie up something rolled and keep it rolled, like a horse blanket. Dog leash or make-shift reins. Anything you may need to pull, will make it softer on your hands. I've used the non-snap end to help a horse lift his foot and release with the length keeping me safe and using the same end to gently sack out a horse. Anything you have to hang that is too thick or fragile to hang on a nail.

    I've always had extras, but eventually, I find I need to buy more. I'm famous for losing them as well, lol!!

    Depending on the thickness and length, you can make a rope halter. Decorate the stable or jumps. As the previous commenter said, use them to desensitize your horse.

    Just keep them, or give them to someone who can use them. Your horse may break one and you might wish you had it.
