KL Select Round Raised Laced Reins

The round raised design offers a more substantial, ergonomic feel in the hand compared to flat reins. This shape provides a secure, tactile grip that helps riders maintain consistent contact, especially in challenging conditions.

Yes, they are designed for versatility. The fancy lacing and refined bevel edging provide a polished, traditional look appropriate for the hunter/jumper show ring, while the durable leather construction stands up well to daily training sessions.

The 5/8-inch width is a standard size for hunter/jumper reins, offering a balanced feel that isn't too bulky or too thin. It provides enough surface area for a stable hold without compromising the rider's ability to feel subtle movements from the horse's mouth.

Beyond their sleek, professional appearance, the tapered ends help reduce bulk where the reins attach to the bit. This creates a cleaner look and allows for a smoother transition between the rein and the bit hardware.

To keep the leather supple and the lacing intact, clean the reins with a high-quality leather cleaner after use and condition them regularly. Avoid over-oiling, as this can soften the leather too much and potentially stretch the lacing over time.
