The Zilco Stretch Gel Rein Stops 23 mm are crafted from an innovative stretch gel material that offers superior grip compared to standard rubber rein stops. They are intended to be fitted onto reins when using ring martingales, acting as a buffer to stop the martingale ring from travelling towards the bit, where it could become caught, thus offering increased control and safety during training or racing. The 23 mm slot width makes them compatible with many common rein webbing widths, and the single colour Black ensures they blend seamlessly with tack.
Target Species: Horses
Application: Used in conjunction with ring martingales and running-rein setups to improve control and prevent the martingale ring from moving dangerously up the reins.
Method:
Slide the gel rein stop onto the rein at the point where the ring martingale attaches (just above the bit or as recommended).
Ensure the slot accommodates the 23 mm width of the rein, and the rein stop sits snugly against the martingale ring when in place.
Adjust positioning so it acts as a firm stop when the ring slides down the rein under tension, preventing it from reaching the bit.
After use, inspect the gel stop for wear or deformation, clean off any sweat or dirt, allow to air dry and store in your tack area.
Frequency:
Suitable for every ride where a ring martingale and running rein are used and enhanced control is desired.
Inspect prior to each session and replace if the gel has lost elasticity, is torn, or no longer grips properly.
Stretch gel material: Offers improved grip over standard rubber, reducing slippage of rein stops and providing steadier performance.
23 mm slot width: Fits reins and martingale rings designed for this width, compatible with many standard race or performance setups.
Prevents ring travel to bit: Enhances safety and rein-control in ring martingale systems, reducing risk of interference near the bit.
Black colour, sold as a pair: Discreet appearance that integrates with black tack and easy replacement of both sides together.
Simple accessory upgrade: Small cost, easy to install, and adds measurable control benefit to the rig.
