These reins feature a unique chevron-patterned rubber texture and internal nylon core, providing both flexibility and extreme durability for everyday use.

Yes, the secure grip provided by the rubber and the inclusion of martingale stoppers make them an excellent choice for jumping and eventing.
The soft, rounded rubber bobbles are designed to be comfortable even when riding without gloves.
The Extra Full size is 60 inches total length, which is suitable for larger horses. Ensure this fits your specific horse's reach and neck length.
Yes, the rubber material is designed to be slip-resistant in wet conditions, though you should dry the leather parts thoroughly afterward.
The internal nylon core prevents the leather and rubber from stretching under pressure, ensuring the reins keep their structural integrity.
Depending on usage, we recommend conditioning the leather parts once every two weeks to maintain softness and prevent premature cracking.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to the leather portions of the reins to restore suppleness.
Ensure the bit hole is clean and use a small amount of leather oil on the billet if it remains tight to help it slide through.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt from between the chevron-patterned rubber bobbles.
To set up your reins, attach the billet fastenings to your chosen bit using the provided slots. Ensure the leather martingale stoppers are positioned between the bit and the rider's hands to prevent the martingale rings from becoming stuck.
Because these reins utilize high-quality English Sedgwick leather, it is essential to keep the leather sections conditioned to prevent drying or cracking. Avoid using heavy detergents on the rubber sections, as this can break down the grip over time; a simple wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Always check the stitching at the billet fastenings and stopper locations periodically to ensure no threads have come loose during heavy use.
