FAQs
What is the width of these reins?
The Waldhausen X-Line Anti-Slip Reins have a width of 19 mm.
Can these be used in competitions?
Yes, their classic black leather look is suitable for most English riding disciplines, though always check your specific rulebook for equipment regulations.
Do I need to clean the rubber part?
Yes, wipe the rubber surface with a damp cloth to remove debris and maintain the non-slip properties.
Are the fittings rust-proof?
The reins feature stainless steel fittings, which are highly resistant to rust and corrosion.
Do they come with stops?
Yes, they include both leather stops for grip guidance and martingale stops.
Troubleshooting
Reins feel stiff after storage
Gently apply a light leather conditioner to the leather portions and work it in until the material softens.

Check for dried dirt or leather polish residue in the buckle mechanism and clean with a soft brush.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior non-slip surface ideal for inclement weather
- High-quality, durable leather construction
- Includes essential martingale and leather grip stops
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware
Cons
- 19 mm width may feel too wide for some riders with smaller hands
- Requires regular leather care to prevent stiffening
- Rubber-coated material may show wear faster than plain leather reins
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, attach the stainless steel buckle ends to your bit rings and ensure the martingale stops are positioned correctly to prevent interference with your horse's movement. These reins are compatible with most standard English bridles. To maintain the life of your leather, clean them regularly using a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt, followed by a quality leather conditioner. Avoid getting heavy oil on the rubber-coated sections, as this can degrade the gripping material over time; focus conditioning treatments primarily on the plain leather segments.
