FAQs
Are these reins suitable for beginners?

Will the rubber grip wear off over time?
Like any material, the rubber can show wear with prolonged, intensive use. Proper care and cleaning will help extend its lifespan.

The signature LeMieux martingale stops are integrated into the reins and are not designed to be removed.

Troubleshooting
Reins feel stiff or dry
The leather requires conditioning. Apply a high-quality leather balm or oil and polish gently.
Buckle attachments are difficult to fasten
Ensure the buckle holes are clear of debris. Check for any damage to the buckle or leather end.
Rubber grip shows signs of wear
This may occur with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing the reins. Clean the rubber gently with a damp cloth.
Reins have stretched unevenly
Check the nylon lining for damage. If the lining is intact, try to re-condition the leather. If stretching is significant, it may be time for replacement.

These reins are designed to be compatible with standard bits and bridles. The buckle attachments are universal for most bit types.

- After Each Use: Gently wipe the reins with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Allow to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources.
- Deep Cleaning: For a thorough clean, detach the reins. Use warm water and a high-quality saddle soap to clean the leather. Allow to air dry completely.
- Conditioning: Once dry, treat the leather with a high-quality leather balm or oil. Polish the leather and metal parts with a soft cloth to restore shine and suppleness.
*Note: Leaving leather dirty, damp, or drying it too quickly can lead to hardening and cracking.*
