Full details

For equestrian riders seeking enhanced communication and a secure grip, ThinLine English Reins offer a unique solution with their no-slip foam technology. While these reins promote elasticity and a confident connection with your horse, it's important to note that the foam material requires specific care to maintain its properties. These reins are designed to provide riders with a comfortable, stable, and elastic rein aid, significantly reducing hand tension and improving the connection from hand to bit.

FAQs

What makes these reins different from standard rubber reins?

ThinLine reins use a proprietary no-slip foam that offers a softer, more elastic grip than traditional rubber, promoting reduced hand tension and enhanced connection.

Can I use my regular leather conditioner on these reins?

It is best to avoid standard oil-based leather conditioners on the foam portion. If conditioning the leather, use a paste-like conditioner and apply it very carefully, avoiding contact with the foam.

How do I clean the non-slip foam grip?

Wipe the foam with a baby wipe regularly. This helps remove dust and maintains the grip's effectiveness.

What does 'with or without hand stops' mean?

Hand stops are leather bands sewn onto the handheld portion of the reins. The option 'with hand stops' includes these bands, while 'without hand stops' does not.

Are these reins suitable for riders with arthritis?

Yes, the reins were initially developed for riders with arthritis due to their ability to reduce hand tension and provide a secure, comfortable grip.

What lengths are available for the ThinLine English Reins?

The reins are available in 48", 54", and 60" lengths.

What bit attachments are offered?

You can choose between a hook stud closure or a buckle end closure for attaching the reins to the bit.

Troubleshooting

Reins feel stiff or lose grip.

Wipe the foam with a baby wipe to restore grip. Ensure no chemicals have been applied to the foam. Allow reins to warm up with your hands.

Leather appears dry.

Use a paste-like leather conditioner, carefully applying it only to the leather parts and avoiding the foam. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Martingale stops are not needed.

The martingale stops are sewn onto the reins and can be carefully removed by cutting the stitching if they are not desired.

Hook stud closure is difficult to fasten.

Ensure the hook stud is correctly aligned with the bit ring before fastening. Check for any debris that might impede the closure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a consistently secure and non-slip grip.
  • Promotes improved elasticity and a softer connection with the horse.
  • Reduces rider hand and arm tension for a more comfortable experience.
  • Enhances communication and confidence between rider and horse.
  • Durable construction ensures long-lasting use.

Cons

  • The foam grip requires specific care and is sensitive to chemicals.

  • Not suitable for direct application of standard leather care products.
  • Riders accustomed to traditional reins may need a short adjustment period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

ThinLine English Reins attach to the bit using either a hook stud or a buckle end, depending on the model selected. Ensure the chosen attachment method is securely fastened to the bit rings.

Compatibility:

These reins are designed for English riding disciplines and are compatible with standard English bits.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the longevity and performance of the non-slip foam, follow these guidelines:

  1. Regular Wiping: Wipe the reins with a baby wipe before or after riding to remove dust and maintain the grip's effectiveness. This is especially helpful for the foam portion.
  2. Avoid Chemicals: Steer clear of Show Sheen, fly sprays, and other chemical products that can cause the foam to stiffen or degrade over time. If contact occurs, rinse hands before riding.
  3. Leather Care: While the reins feature leather, avoid using standard oil-based leather conditioners directly on the ThinLine foam. If conditioning the leather, use a paste-like conditioner and apply it carefully, avoiding contact with the foam. This helps preserve the foam's unique properties.
  4. Temperature: The foam's feel and grip are temperature-sensitive. Warmer reins will feel softer and offer more grip. Allow the warmth from your hands to optimize their performance.
