Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do these straps improve communication with my horse?
A: The added weight of the russet leather creates a "pre-signal." When you pick up the reins, the horse feels the weight of the strap shift before the bit engages, allowing for a much softer and more refined response.

Q: What size reins work best with these slobber straps?
A: These are designed with 5/8" holes and 1" slits, making them a perfect fit for 1/2" to 5/8" mecate or yacht rope reins to ensure the reins slide freely for an instant release.
