Otto Schumacher Rolled Leather Rein

The rolled section near the bit reduces bulk and creates a cleaner look, while the flat leather grip provides a more secure, tactile feel in your hands. It is a design choice that balances the elegance required for the show ring with the functional grip needed for daily training.

The 13mm width is generally preferred for a delicate feel or smaller hands, while the 16mm is the standard choice for most horses. The 20mm option offers a more substantial feel, which some riders prefer for extra stability or when working with stronger horses.

Yes, the design is versatile enough for both. While the rolled-to-flat transition is a classic dressage aesthetic, the high-quality leather construction provides the durability and grip necessary for the demands of hunter/jumper and eventing disciplines.

Select 'Cob' for ponies or smaller horses, 'Horse' for standard-sized mounts, and 'Oversized/Extra Long' if you have a large warmblood or a horse that requires extra rein length for specific training exercises.

As with all high-quality handcrafted leather, these reins will feel slightly stiff out of the box. They will soften and conform to your grip quickly with regular use and proper conditioning.
