Red Barn Plain Pelham Rein

These reins are designed for both. The durable, high-quality leather construction makes them sturdy enough for daily schooling, while the clean, classic aesthetic is perfectly appropriate for the show ring.

The 54-inch length is a standard size that fits most horses comfortably. If you have a particularly large warmblood or draft-cross, you may want to measure your current reins to ensure this length provides enough slack for your riding style.

These are specifically designed as Pelham or double bridle reins, meaning they come as a pair intended for use with two bits or the two settings on a Pelham bit. They are not designed to be used as a single rein on a standard snaffle.

The 0.5-inch width is a traditional, slim profile that offers a direct, precise feel. It is ideal for riders who prefer a lighter, less bulky connection with their horse's mouth compared to wider or rubber-lined reins.

Because Red Barn uses hand-selected, high-quality leather, these reins are supple right out of the package. While they will soften further with use and conditioning, they do not require an extensive break-in period to feel comfortable.
