We designed these reins over 8 years ago. They are light in the hand so you can feel the connection to your horse.
We have inbuilt stoppers/notches so you can ride without gloves if you so choose. However you can still feel the notches so you can rely on these for length bearing.
We also have marine grade webbing internally to reduce stretching.
They are made from genuine vegetable tanned English napa leather.
Our most popular rein that customers continue to come back to time and time again.
This 6/8 version is for riders who like a thicker rein in their hands.
Please note our Havana leather is very dark brown in colour.
FLEXIBLE FIT PADDED LEATHER REINS BILLETS
How to maintain your bridle/leather product
Flexible Fit products are unique in that they are pre oiled in the vegetable tanning process. You will notice how soft the leather is when you receive your Flexible Fit product, and this means that maintaining your bridle/leather products is simple.
The following steps should be adhered to in order to maximise the life of your product.
- Once you receive your product, try it on for fit. Do not do up the buckles as this will mark the leather, instead thread through the keepers in case you need to exchange the size. When you are certain that it fits properly, do the following BEFORE use.
- Use a leather cream such as Effax Leather Balsam to nourish and moisturise the leather. You will need to pay particular attention to the headpiece and make sure it is well moisturised.
- During the first two weeks of use you should cream your bridle 2-3 times per week to lubricate the leather fibres.
- DO NOT condition the leather every day after the first two weeks.
- DO NOT EVER use liquid oil.
- Once the leather is soft and well-conditioned, maintenance should be minimal. Occasional creaming is recommended once every 1-2 months.
- An occasional saddle soap can be used and can be wiped with a damp cloth at owner’s discretion by following product label directions. Do not use product on the bridle every day.
- If your bridle looks cracked or creased, you have not given the leather adequate leather conditioner, or not adequately conditioned the bridle before use.
- Clean your patent with a petroleum jelly (minimal amount)
