FAQs

Are these side reins suitable for beginners?

Yes, their straightforward design and easy adjustment make them suitable for beginners under the guidance of an experienced trainer.

What is the primary use for these side reins?

They are primarily used for training and lunging to help improve a horse's balance, self-carriage, and frame.

How do I clean the nylon material?

Wipe with a damp cloth. For a more thorough clean, use mild soap and water, then air dry.

What does 'sold in pairs' mean?

It means one order includes two reins, one for each side of the horse.

Can these be used with any type of saddle?

They are designed to attach to the girth or surcingle, making them compatible with most general equestrian setups.

What material are the fittings made of?

The fittings are made of stainless steel, which is resistant to rust and corrosion.

How durable is the nylon material?

Nylon is a strong and durable material, suitable for regular training use, but prolonged exposure to harsh elements can affect its longevity.

Troubleshooting

Reins are difficult to adjust

Ensure the steel eyelets are clean and free of debris. If they feel stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the eyelets.

Fittings appear discolored

This is unlikely with stainless steel, but if discoloration occurs, clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are dried thoroughly after use.

Material feels stiff after washing

Allow the reins to air dry completely. Avoid using a machine dryer or direct heat. They should regain flexibility as they dry.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard girths, saddles, and surcingles that have appropriate D-rings or attachment points. The stainless steel fittings ensure compatibility with various tack.
