Reins for Horses

Providing the rider with a direct line of communication with the horse, reins are attached to the bridle via the bit. Used to control both the speed and direction of the horse or pony, having consistent yet gentle contact on the reins is essential. There are several different types of reins available, each with different properties that make them ideal for each discipline or purpose. For example, training reins are often used to teach beginners and have different coloured sections to help new riders learn where to hold onto the rein for an even contact. Plain leather reins or plaited reins have a traditional look, which is preferred in the show ring. Those who are eventing or show jumping need enhanced grip for control in all weather conditions, so rubber grip or bio-grip reins are often the preferred choice.
