Waldhausen Leather Reins with Stops and Hooks, reins for horses, brown

A hand position you can find without looking: Waldhausen Leather Reins

These leather reins with stops give you fixed reference points along the rein. The raised bars tell your fingers where you are, so you can shorten by a set amount and take the same contact again after a gallop, a jump or a transition without dropping your eyes.

The hooks clip straight onto the bit rings, which saves fiddling with billet studs when you swap bits or strip the bridle down for cleaning. The supple leather softens further with use, and the reins are available in black and brown to match whichever bridle is on the rack. Schooling, hacking or a day at a show: these are reins for everyday riding.

Questions & answers:

What are the stops actually for?
They stop your hand sliding down the rein and act as markers. Once you know which bar you ride on, you can take up the same contact every time.

Why hooks rather than buckles?
Hooks clip on and off the bit rings in seconds. That is handy when you clean tack often or use the same reins on more than one bridle.

Which colour should I choose?
Black suits black dressage bridles, brown is the classic choice for hunting and hacking bridles. Both are available for this rein.
