Product Information

Full details

The Shires Lusso Nylon Insert Rubber Grip Reins are designed for equestrians who prioritize both grip security and tactile sensitivity. Combining high-quality European leather with a non-stretch nylon core, these reins offer a robust, flexible feel that prevents slipping, though riders who prefer thinner, plain leather reins may find the textured rubber grip slightly bulkier to hold.

FAQs

Are these reins suitable for competition?

Yes, their classic design and high-quality leather make them suitable for a wide range of equestrian disciplines.

What is the benefit of the nylon insert?

The nylon core prevents the leather from stretching over time, maintaining the intended length and feel.

Do these reins come in different sizes?

Yes, they are available in various lengths such as 54 inch and 61 inch to accommodate different horse sizes.

How do I clean the stainless steel hardware?

Wipe the hardware with a clean, dry cloth. If needed, a metal polish can be used, ensuring it does not touch the leather.

Is the leather eco-friendly?

Yes, these reins are crafted from eco-friendly vegetable-tanned polo leather.

Troubleshooting

Hook stud is difficult to insert

Ensure the leather is conditioned; if new, flex the leather around the hole to soften it before inserting the stud.

Rubber grip becoming slightly sticky

Clean the grip using a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly with a soft towel.

Leather feels stiff

Apply a generous layer of leather balm or conditioner and work it into the fibers to restore suppleness.

Cons

  • Rubber texture may feel bulky for riders with smaller hands

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Shires Lusso reins, attach the hook stud billets to your bit rings and ensure the studs are fully pressed through the leather holes. Always check that the metal studs are securely fastened before mounting.

Care instructions include:

  1. Wipe the reins down with a damp cloth after every ride to remove sweat and grit.
  2. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner regularly to keep the vegetable-tanned leather supple.
  3. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the rubber grips, as these can cause degradation.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the rubber from becoming sticky.
