FAQs
Can I use these on any type of rein?
They are designed for standard width reins. They may not fit correctly on extra-thick western or specialty rope reins.
How often should I wash them?
Wash them whenever you notice a buildup of sweat, dirt, or hair to ensure the fabric remains breathable and soft.
Are these sold individually or as a pair?
They are sold as a pair, covering both the left and right side reins.
Will the material irritate sensitive horses?
The ProComfort SupaFleece is designed to be gentle and non-irritating, providing a soft barrier specifically for sensitive horses.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
Air drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fleece and the strength of the touch-close fasteners.
What is the primary benefit of using these?
The primary benefit is the prevention of rein rub, chafing, and hair loss by distributing pressure and managing moisture.
Troubleshooting
Guard slips during riding
Ensure the touch-close fastening is pulled taut around the rein and that no grit or hair is trapped in the adhesive surface of the fastener.
Fleece becomes matted after washing
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently tease out the fibers once the guard is completely dry to restore the loft of the ProComfort fleece.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces rein rubbing and hair loss
- Easy to attach and remove with touch-close fasteners
- Machine washable for simple maintenance
- Soft, cushioned feel increases horse comfort
- Durable construction maintains softness over time
Cons
- Requires regular cleaning to maintain hygiene

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: simply open the touch-close fastener, align the fleece side against the horse's skin, and wrap it securely around the rein. Ensure the fastener is pressed firmly to prevent shifting during movement. These guards are compatible with most standard leather or webbing reins. To care for your ARMA Rein Guards, machine wash them on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh fabric softeners that might coat the fleece fibers. After washing, reshape the guard and allow it to air dry fully before the next use to ensure the material remains fluffy and effective.
