Which reins are best for me?
There are many styles of reins, each with its own advantages:
-
Leather reins: a classic style that looks elegant with your bridle. They have a good grip to prevent them from slipping from your hands too easily.
-
Webbed reins: made from sturdy webbing material with stops at fixed intervals to help maintain an even rein length and provide extra grip.
-
Rubber reins: give excellent grip even in wet conditions, making them good for cross-country riding and jumping.
-
Plaited reins: aesthetically pleasing with good grip, ideal for shows.
Find all these styles, among many more, in the collection of reins at Oakfield. Next, check out our selection of bridles.
