FAQs

Are these reins suitable for competitions?

Yes, their classic leather design and professional appearance make them suitable for a wide range of equestrian disciplines.

How do I break in new leather reins?

Using the reins regularly while applying a quality leather oil or conditioner will help soften the leather over time.

Can I use these reins with any bit?

Yes, they feature standard buckle attachments compatible with almost all English-style bits.

What is the best way to clean sweat off the reins?

Use a soft, damp cloth or a dedicated leather saddle soap after each ride to prevent salt buildup from sweat.

Are the thumb grips intrusive?

The grips are designed to be subtle, providing tactile feedback without causing discomfort or bulk in the hand.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff after storage

Clean the reins thoroughly and apply a light coat of leather conditioner to restore suppleness.

Buckles are difficult to fasten

Apply a small amount of leather balm to the buckles and the leather holes to help them slide more easily during the break-in phase.

Grip markers feel slippery

Ensure the reins are free of excess oil or grooming products that may have transferred from the horse's coat.
