Q: Is the leather stiff when it arrives?

Not at all. These reins are made from oiled harness leather, which is specifically treated to be supple and "broken-in" right out of the box.

Q: What are the dimensions of these reins?

The Shires Velociti Roper Rein is 5/8" wide and 8 feet (96 inches) long, which is the industry standard for Western horses, providing plenty of room for natural neck movement.
