FAQs
Are these reins suitable for show jumping?
Yes, the superior grip and reinforced structure make them ideal for show jumping and other disciplines requiring a secure hold.
What is the width of these reins?
These reins are 5/8-inch wide, providing a standard, comfortable grip for most riders.
Can I use these in the rain?
The rubber grip provides reliable performance in damp conditions, though the leather parts should be wiped and dried after exposure to moisture.
How do I clean the rubber sections?
Use a damp sponge with mild soap to scrub the rubber pattern, then wipe clean with a fresh cloth.
What should I do if the leather starts to crack?
Cracking indicates the leather is dehydrated. Clean the reins and apply several light coats of leather conditioner until the material regains its suppleness.
Are these reins adjustable?

Troubleshooting
Hook stud is difficult to secure
Ensure the leather slot is clean and supple; use a small amount of leather conditioner on the tab if it has stiffened.
Rubber grip feels slick
Clean the grip surface with a damp brush and mild soap to remove oil, sweat, and dirt buildup.
Rein leather feels dry or stiff
Clean the leather thoroughly and apply a dedicated leather dressing or conditioner, allowing it to absorb overnight.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach these reins to your bridle, simply slide the hook stud through the bit rings and secure it firmly into the corresponding leather slot. Ensure the hook stud is fully seated to prevent accidental unfastening during a ride.
For ongoing care, wipe the leather sections with a damp cloth after every use to remove sweat and salt buildup. Treat the leather with a high-quality leather conditioner once or twice a month to keep it supple and prevent the material from drying out. Avoid harsh chemicals on the rubber grips; instead, use mild soap and water to clear out any debris from the textured pattern. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the life of both the leather and the rubber components.
