Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the reins to your bridle, thread the ends through the bit rings and secure them using the provided buckles or studs, ensuring the leather is correctly seated. These reins are compatible with most standard English bridles. To maintain their quality, wipe the leather down after each ride to remove sweat and dirt. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner monthly to prevent the material from drying out or cracking, especially around the thumb grips where the leather experiences the most friction. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
