I find a 12 foot rope SAVE ...and not a hinderance .  I also rather touch an 
abused horse that kicks with a carrot stick, rather then my hand .
You have abviously never had  to deal with a horse that was scared out of 
his mind. By people with 6 foot ropes and hands that beat such a horse.
I have rehabilitaded such horses ....twice now... and i can say i was VERY 
happy to have my carrot stick and 12 foot rope. Its not about the stick . or 
flag or whatever people call it...

One of them was my endurance horse.
