Full details

These ThinLine English Reins are designed for riders seeking a more secure, stable, and elastic connection with their horse. Ideal for riders of all levels, including those with arthritis, they offer a non-slip grip that promotes a softer hand and improves communication.

FAQs

What makes these reins different from traditional leather reins?

The key difference is the ThinLine no-slip foam grip, which offers superior stability and a more elastic connection compared to traditional leather or rubber reins. This foam is designed to distribute pressure and reduce hand tension.

Are these reins suitable for riders with arthritis?

Yes, these reins were initially developed for riders with arthritis. The soft, non-slip grip helps reduce the need for a tight hold, easing strain on the hands and wrists.

How should I clean the ThinLine foam grip?

For daily maintenance, use a baby wipe to clean off dust. Avoid harsh chemicals and oil-based leather conditioners directly on the foam. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is generally safe, but always dry thoroughly.

What lengths and attachment types are available?

The reins are available in 48, 54, and 60-inch lengths. Attachment options include hook stud and buckle end. They also come with or without hand stops, and all include removable martingale stops.

Can I use my usual leather care products on these reins?

It is not recommended to use standard oil-based leather care products directly on the ThinLine foam grip, as the oils can damage the material and cause it to harden. If conditioning the leather, use a paste-like conditioner and avoid contact with the foam.

Do the reins come with hand stops?

Hand stops are an optional feature. You can choose reins with or without hand stops when purchasing.

What is the benefit of the martingale stops?

All reins come with martingale stops. These are bands sewn onto the reins that help prevent them from being pulled through the horse's bit rings. They are removable if you do not need them.

Troubleshooting

Grip feels less effective over time.

Wipe reins with a damp cloth or baby wipe before riding. Ensure hands are clean and free from oils or lotions. Avoid direct contact with chemicals.

Foam grip appears stiff or hardened.

This may be due to exposure to chemicals. Try gently warming the reins with your hands. In the future, avoid direct contact with Show Sheen, fly sprays, and oil-based leather conditioners on the foam.

Buckle or stud attachment feels loose.

Check the integrity of the attachment point on the bit. Ensure the buckle or stud is correctly fastened. Inspect the leather loop for wear and tear.

Pros and Cons

  • Enhances communication and connection with the horse.
  • Provides a secure, non-slip grip even in wet conditions.
  • Durable and long-lasting.
  • Comfortable for riders of all levels, including those with hand issues.

Cons

  • Requires specific care to avoid damage to the foam grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These reins attach to the horse's bit using either a hook stud or a buckle end, depending on the model selected. Ensure the attachment is secure before mounting. If your reins come with martingale stops and you do not wish to use them, they can be carefully removed.

Compatibility:

Compatible with standard English riding disciplines and tack. Available in lengths of 48, 54, and 60 inches to suit different rider and horse sizes. Available colors include Black and Brown.

Care Instructions:

  • Daily Maintenance: Wipe the rein with a baby wipe before each ride to remove light dust and maintain optimal grip. Your hand's warmth will soften the foam for best performance.
  • Avoid Chemicals: Steer clear of products like Show Sheen and some fly sprays, as they can cause the foam to stiffen over time. If using such chemicals, rinse your hands thoroughly before riding.
  • Leather Care: Avoid direct application of traditional leather conditioning products onto the ThinLine foam. If conditioning the leather portion, use a paste-like conditioner and apply it carefully to avoid contact with the foam. Oil-based products are damaging to the foam.
