Designed for equestrians who prioritize both security and comfort, the Henry James V-Grip Rubber Reins are ideal for riders seeking a reliable connection with their horse in all weather conditions. The reins feature a specialized chevron-patterned grip that provides a steady, non-slip hold with or without gloves, ensuring consistent contact. While the high-quality English Sedgwick leather offers premium durability, users should be aware that the reinforced nylon core makes these reins slightly stiffer than plain leather alternatives during the initial break-in period.

Yes, their smart English Sedgwick leather finish makes them suitable for most competition environments while providing the functionality needed for high-performance riding.
Yes, the chevron rubber grip is specifically designed to maintain a high level of traction even in wet, slippery conditions.
The nylon core prevents the leather from stretching over time, ensuring that the reins maintain their original length and structural integrity throughout years of use.
The 19.5mm width is standard for full-sized reins. If you have very small hands, consider our Pony or Cob size variants which may offer slightly different dimensions.
We recommend a quick wipe with a damp cloth after every ride to prevent the buildup of salt from horse sweat, which can degrade the rubber over time.
The nylon core is designed for strength, which creates initial stiffness. Use the reins consistently and apply a leather softener to the hide parts to accelerate the break-in process.
Use a soft-bristled brush, such as a specialized tack brush, to gently dislodge dirt from the chevron patterns after rinsing with a slightly damp cloth.
Ensure the leather is conditioned. If the holes are tight, work a small amount of leather oil into the billet area to soften the hide and make adjustment easier.
To attach the reins, use the billet fastenings to secure them to your bit. Ensure the martingale stoppers are positioned between the bit and the rider's hands if using a running martingale.
