FAQs

Are these reins suitable for everyday schooling?

Yes, they are durable enough for daily training and schooling, though they are specifically styled for race-ready performance.

What is the width of these reins?

These reins measure 3/4 inch in width.

Can I use these for other disciplines like dressage?

While the design is focused on racing, they can be used for any discipline where you prefer a rubber-grip leather rein.

How do I maintain the color of the brown leather?

Use a leather-safe cleaner and a matching brown leather dressing to keep the color vibrant and prevent fading.

Do the loop ends fit all bit sizes?

The standard loop ends fit the vast majority of racing bits; however, verify that your bit ring diameter is not unusually large.

What material are the grips made of?

The grips are made of high-quality, durable rubber designed for maximum traction.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff after storage

Apply a generous layer of leather conditioner or neatsfoot oil and work it into the fibers to restore flexibility.

Rubber grip appears dirty or loses stickiness

Gently scrub the rubber surface with a soft-bristled brush and lukewarm water, then pat dry with a clean towel.

Difficulty threading loop ends through the bit

Ensure the loop is fully loosened and the leather is conditioned, which makes the material more pliable for tight maneuvers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Mackey Classic EU Race Reins, simply thread the loop ends through your bit rings and secure them back onto the rein body. These reins are compatible with most standard racing bits. For care, keep the leather supple by applying a high-quality leather conditioner or saddle soap after each use, especially if the reins have been exposed to sweat or moisture. Ensure the rubber grip remains clean by wiping it with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the rubber bonding. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
