Red Barn Fancy Stitched Raised Reins

Yes, these reins are designed specifically for hunter and jumper disciplines. Their classic aesthetic and laced style meet the traditional requirements for both rings.

While they are designed to coordinate perfectly with Red Barn hunter bridles, the classic leather finish and fancy stitching are versatile enough to pair well with many other high-quality leather bridles. However, for the most seamless look, we recommend sticking with the same brand.

The 5/8-inch width is the standard size for hunter reins, offering a balance between grip and feel. It provides enough substance for a secure hold without feeling bulky, which is ideal for maintaining precise contact.

The laced style provides extra grip, which is particularly helpful if your hands get sweaty or if you are riding in humid conditions. It offers a more tactile, secure feel than plain leather reins while maintaining a traditional show-ring appearance.

To keep the leather supple and the stitching intact, clean the reins with a high-quality leather cleaner after every ride. Avoid over-oiling, as excess oil can soften the leather too much and potentially loosen the stitching over time.
