Product Information

Full details

The KM Elite Pro Grip Eventer Reins with Stoppers are designed for competitive eventers and serious riders who require a reliable, non-slip connection with their horse regardless of the weather conditions. These reins utilize a specialized Biothane Pro Grip layer and integrated stoppers to provide exceptional control and stability during high-intensity maneuvers, though the stiff nature of the material may require a brief break-in period for riders accustomed to traditional supple leather.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these reins made of genuine leather?

While listed with leather attributes, the functional grip layer is composed of advanced Biothane materials for superior weather resistance and durability.

How long are the 44-inch reins?

The 44-inch measurement refers to the total length of the rein, which is typically suited for ponies or smaller horses.

Do I need to oil these reins?

No, you should not oil these reins. The synthetic grip material does not require oiling and doing so may cause the surface to become slippery or degrade the material.

Are these suitable for dressage?

While designed for eventing, their high level of control makes them a popular choice for any discipline where maintaining a steady, consistent rein contact is vital.

Can I leave these in the rain?

Yes, they are highly weather-resistant, but it is best practice to wipe them down and let them air dry after exposure to rain to prevent dirt build-up.

Troubleshooting

Reins feel too stiff out of the box

Use the reins during light flatwork sessions; the material will soften and conform to your grip after a few uses.

Difficulty threading the stoppers through the martingale rings

Check the diameter of your current martingale rings; ensure they are large enough to accommodate the stoppers before heading to a competition.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent grip in wet or muddy conditions
  • Reinforced construction prevents stretching over time
  • Integrated stoppers enhance rider stability
  • Extremely low maintenance requirements compared to leather
  • Durable enough for cross-country competition

Cons

  • Material feel differs significantly from traditional leather
  • May feel stiff initially before breaking in
  • Limited to black colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward as these reins feature standard hook-stud or buckle ends compatible with most common bridles. Before your first ride, ensure the rein ends are securely fastened to your bit. For maintenance, simply wipe the Biothane surface with a damp cloth after each ride to remove dirt or dried sweat. Unlike leather, these do not require conditioning or oiling; avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial leather cleaners which could compromise the integrity of the synthetic grip layer. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to extend the life of the material.
