FAQs

What is the total length of the lead rein?

The Premier Equine Leather Lead Rein measures 79 inches (2 meters) in total length.

How do I attach the chain coupling?

The solid brass chain coupling has clips at each end that attach to the bit rings on either side of the horse's bit.

Is this lead rein suitable for everyday riding?

While it can be used for general lead rein activities, its design with a specific chain coupling makes it particularly well-suited for showing and precise ground guidance.

What type of leather is used?

The lead rein is crafted from a buttery soft, premium leather.

How often should I clean the leather?

It is strongly recommended to clean the leather after each use with warm water on a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and grease.

Can I use any leather conditioner?

Use a conditioner specifically designed for leather, applying it sparingly and gently as per the care instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.

What is the advantage of the dual-sided chain coupling?

The dual-sided chain coupling provides a unique leading experience and allows for precise lateral control, which is beneficial for in-hand showing and ground training.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears stiff or dry

Condition the leather with a suitable leather conditioner following the care instructions. Ensure it is not exposed to excessive heat or dryness during storage.

Brass chain shows signs of tarnishing

Gently polish the brass chain with a soft cloth and a dedicated brass polish. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the metal.

Buckles are difficult to fasten

Ensure the buckle prongs are clean and free of debris. If the leather around the buckle hole is stiff, a small amount of leather conditioner may help temporarily soften it.

The coupling mechanism feels loose on the bit

Ensure the clips are securely fastened to the correct bit rings. Check that the clips themselves are not damaged or bent.

Care Instructions:

  • After Each Use: Clean the leather with warm water on a damp cloth or soft sponge to gently remove dust, dirt, and grease. Pay attention to areas around buckles and points of contact.

  • Drying: After cleaning and conditioning, wipe off any excess product with a clean cloth. Allow the leather to dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable bag to prevent mold or mildew. Avoid storing in plastic, as it can trap moisture.
