What are the reins of a horse?

Ah, the age-old question. Think of reins as the communication line between you and your horse. They are the ropes, usually leather or synthetic material, that connect the rider's hand to the horse's bit.

What is the purpose of reins?

Reins are like the keyboard to your computer – they allow you to send crucial signals to your horse. From directing movement to maintaining balance, reins are pivotal to horse riding.

Can you ride a horse without reins?

Technically, yes. But that's like texting with your toes – possible, but not practical or comfortable. And when it comes to horse riding, comfort and control are everything. Check out our Shires Aviemore Plain Reins for a taste of quality control.

What length are full reins?

Full reins typically measure about 54 inches. That's longer than your average python! Perfect for adult horses, ensuring adequate communication without feeling like you're reaching for the stars.

What are laced reins used for?

Imagine a glove that enhances your grip. That's what laced reins do. They provide extra grip, making them perfect for disciplines where a firm hold is needed. Speaking of which, take a look at our Eco Rider Lace Reins for a feel of premium grip.

What are web reins?

Web reins are the Swiss Army Knife of the equestrian world. Flexible, robust, and perfect for everyday riding. Need a recommendation? Try our John Whitaker Ready to Ride Pre-Oiled Webbed Reins.

How do you hold reins when trotting?

Picture holding two ice creams without letting them fall. That's how you should hold reins while trotting – steady and relaxed. If you're training, our Shires Aviemore Rubber Grip Training Reins could be a lifesaver.

What are draw reins good for?

Draw reins are like the training wheels on a bike. They help your horse maintain proper head carriage. Our Whitaker Draw Reins Rope offers superior training assistance.

What is the purpose of side reins?

Side reins are your horse's personal trainer. They encourage your horse to move forward into the bridle. For a reliable choice, try our Hy Elasticated Side Reins.
