FAQs
What is the length of this specific model?
This model is 3 meters in length.
Are these reins suitable for young horses?
Yes, they are excellent for ground work and introducing young horses to steering and bending aids.
How do I store the reins properly?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from hardening or fading.
Can I use these in the rain?
While durable, leather should not be left to soak. If they get wet, dry them slowly away from direct heat sources and condition them afterward.
What width are the reins?
The reins are 19 mm wide, designed for a comfortable hand-hold.
Do I need to oil the leather before the first use?
It is recommended to check the suppleness upon arrival; applying a light coat of leather oil or conditioner is generally good practice for new leather products.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or dry
Apply a generous coat of leather conditioner and allow it to absorb fully before the next use.
Hardware feels sticky or difficult to open
Clean the swivel mechanism with a mild lubricant or check for grit accumulation and wipe clean.
Grip is slippery during use
Ensure the leather is kept clean and dry; if the leather is new, it may take a few sessions of use and conditioning to achieve optimal texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up for training, ensure the stainless steel snap hooks are securely attached to the bit or lunging cavesson, verifying that the length is appropriate for the size of your horse. Because these reins are made of genuine leather, proper care is essential to maintain safety. Clean the leather after every use with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Periodically treat the reins with high-quality leather conditioner to prevent the material from drying out or cracking. Inspect the stitching and hardware before each session to ensure there are no signs of wear that could compromise safety.
