The Horze Leather Side Reins with Rubber Donuts provide a versatile training aid for groundwork, lunging, and long-reining exercises. Crafted from strong, stable leather, these reins offer reliable control while encouraging the horse to seek a consistent, balanced frame. Integrated rubber doughnuts act as shock absorbers, helping smooth out impulsive movements and reducing harsh impacts on the bit or nose, enhancing comfort and encouraging relaxation through varied training routines. Adjustability at multiple points allows for tailored fit and training intensity, making these side reins effective for horses at various training levels.
Usage
Target Species: Horses
Application: Used primarily during lunging or long-reining to help develop connection, balance, and topline engagement; also useful as a training aid for responsiveness and rhythm.
Method:
Attach one end of each side rein to the surcingle or saddle D-ring; connect the other end to the bit rings.
Adjust the length so the horse can work in a consistent, relaxed outline without over-flexing.
The rubber doughnuts should sit between the bit and rein to provide cushioning during movement.
Use in a controlled environment under supervision, ensuring the horse is attentive to cues and rein contact is smooth.
After training, detach reins, wipe leather clean of dirt and sweat, condition leather as needed, and store dry.
Frequency: Appropriate for planned training sessions rather than continuous use; recommended as part of lunging or groundwork routines to build suppleness and self-carriage over time.
