Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Will these fit my 3/4-inch or 5/8-inch reins?
A: These are specifically designed for 1-inch wide reins. For a secure, professional fit that won't slide or look bulky, it is essential to match the width of your reins exactly to the 1-inch loop size. We recommend measuring your rein width before ordering.

Q: Why are two different types of leather used in this set?
A: We use russet harness leather for the loops because it is the toughest against moisture at the bit. The burgundy latigo laces are selected for their high oil content and flexibility, making them easier to tie securely and less likely to become brittle over time compared to standard leather.

Q: How do these protect my more expensive reins?
A: The water loops take the "brunt" of the wear. By absorbing the moisture and friction at the bit attachment, they prevent your main reins from rotting or thinning. If your horse steps on a rein, the lace is designed to break first, saving the main rein from a costly snap.
