Troubleshooting
Rein stops are too tight to slide on
Slightly warm the rubber by holding it in your hands or gently with warm water (not hot) to make it more pliable. You can also try applying a small amount of mild soap and water to the rein to help it slide.
Rein stops slide too easily
Ensure you have placed them in a position on the rein where there is less flex or movement. If the reins are very smooth, consider if a different type of rein might offer more friction, or try placing the stops closer to the bit end if suitable for your discipline.
Discomfort when holding reins
Adjust the position of the rein stops. Experiment with placing them slightly higher or lower on the reins, or slightly offset from each other, until you find a comfortable position that still provides the desired grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the Hy Equestrian Rein Stops, simply slide them onto your reins. They are typically placed just below the rider's hands, with the exact position often adjusted for personal preference and comfort. For optimal performance, ensure they are snug enough to stay in place but not so tight that they restrict hand movement. You may need to slightly work the rubber to ease them onto the reins, especially when new.
Compatibility: These rein stops are designed to be compatible with most standard reins made from materials like leather, web, or biothane. They should fit securely without damaging the rein material.
Care: Clean the rein stops with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they may degrade the rubber. Store your reins with the stops attached in a cool, dry place.
