Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Do these reins require a long break-in period before they feel comfortable?
A: Not at all. Because these reins are made from premium hot-stuffed leather, the fibers are already saturated with oils, giving them a pliable, "broken-in" feel from the very first time you pick them up.

Q: Why is the 5/8" width and 7' length recommended for Western riding?
A: The 5/8" width is the industry standard for a secure grip that isn't too bulky, while the 7-foot length provides enough slack for a proper Western drape without the risk of the horse stepping on the reins during work.

Q: Are these reins safe for trail riding?
A: Yes, split reins are highly preferred for the trail because they allow you to ground-tie your horse and, more importantly, they prevent the horse from getting its legs caught in a loop if a rein is accidentally dropped.
