Tory Leather Braided Flared Reins

The braided design creates a textured surface that provides significantly more friction than smooth leather. This helps you maintain a secure hold, especially if your hands get sweaty or if you are riding in damp conditions.

Yes, they are versatile enough for both. The durable leather construction is built to handle the wear and tear of trail riding, while the precise feel and flared design are well-suited for the communication required in arena disciplines.

The flared design is primarily about ergonomics. It allows the reins to sit more comfortably in your hands, reducing fatigue during longer rides and providing a more natural, balanced feel when you are signaling your horse.

Chicago screws are a reliable, low-profile way to attach your bit. They provide a secure, fixed connection that is less bulky than traditional buckles, ensuring the reins stay firmly attached to the bit without interfering with your contact.

Tory Leather uses high-quality materials that are generally supple from the start, but like any quality leather tack, they will soften and conform to your hands even more as you use them and apply leather conditioner.
