Berlin Leather Hermann Oak Harness Leather Romel Reins

The rounded construction significantly reduces bulk compared to flat-braided or wide-strap reins. This profile allows for a more natural, secure grip, which helps you maintain a lighter, more precise feel on the bit and improves communication with your horse.

These reins utilize a traditional water loop attachment. You simply thread the leather loop through the bit ring and secure it back onto itself, providing a reliable, low-profile connection that won't interfere with your horse's mouth.

The total length is 105 inches. This includes 52 inches for the reins themselves, 42 inches for the romel section, and an 11-inch leather popper at the end.
