Martin Saddlery Braided Reins

The low-stretch material ensures that your hand signals are transmitted immediately to the bit. This lack of elasticity helps the horse feel the release the moment you soften your hand, which is crucial for training responsiveness.

Slobber straps add weight to the rein connection, which helps the bit hang more neutrally in the horse's mouth. They also provide a distinct 'swing' that signals to the horse when you are about to engage the rein, making your cues clearer and more consistent.

These reins are excellent for anyone looking to improve their horse's sensitivity to the bit. Because they encourage a quick pickup and release, they are particularly helpful for riders who want to stop their horse from leaning on the bridle.

The 0.5-inch braided rope offers a secure, substantial grip without being overly bulky. It is a standard diameter for Western training reins, providing enough tactile feedback to feel subtle movements without slipping.

No, these reins come ready to use. The harness leather slobber straps are designed to loop through your bit rings and secure back to the reins, so you can attach them directly to your existing bridle setup.
