Horseman’s Reins
Description
The Horseman's reins are made from high-quality Tuff Tack 12mm diameter, braid on braid, 100% polyester rope that is smooth and sweat-resistant. The Horseman's reins attach to the bit with slobber straps (rein leathers).
The reins can easily be shortened or lengthened according to purpose. The lead rope (get down rope) can be lengthened up to 22ft or fully extended to the loop to make ground-driving reins. There is a leather popper attached to one end of the reins.
These reins are an adaption of the traditional Spanish Mecate horse hair reins.
NOTE: the slobber straps (rein leathers) are NOT included, however they can be purchased separately.
At Total Horsemanship, we use 100% polyester rope instead of the typical nylon yachting rope. Nylon rope stretches and can become stiff with use, absorbing moisture and increasing in thickness. Polyester rope will stay true to its original form.
