The Henry James Saddlery Calfskin Supergrip Reins are designed for competitive and leisure riders who demand a secure, consistent grip without sacrificing a refined aesthetic. Crafted from premium English Sedgwick leather, these reins offer the perfect balance of flexibility and strength, making them ideal for dressage and everyday flatwork. While the high-performance supergrip lining provides excellent stability, users should note that the leather requires regular conditioning to maintain its suppleness over long periods of heavy use.

While designed primarily for dressage and flatwork, the supergrip lining provides enough security for general jumping activities.
The internal nylon core prevents the leather from stretching, ensuring the reins maintain their length and durability over time.
Depending on usage and climate, conditioning every 2-4 weeks is recommended to keep the calfskin supple.
Yes, the hand-stitched leather stoppers are specifically designed to stop martingale rings from sliding.
These reins are sold in specific sizes (Pony, Cob, Full, Extra Full) to ensure the length is appropriate for your horse's specific head size and movement requirements.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the billet area to soften the hide and make it easier to thread through the keepers.
Wipe the rubber underside with a clean, damp cloth to remove any buildup of dust, grease, or hair.
To attach your reins, ensure the billet fastenings are secured through the bit rings and tucked firmly into the keepers. These reins are designed to be compatible with most standard bridle styles. For maintenance, clean the leather after every ride with a pH-neutral glycerine soap to remove sweat and salt. Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the calfskin soft, taking care to avoid getting heavy oils on the rubber supergrip lining, as this can degrade the grip material. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking.
