Collegiate Plain Laced Reins

True to photo. A little narrower than I am used to but is working out fine. A little stiff, but taking to oiling for suppleness.

Matches collegiate comfitec training bridle perfect. Good quality from collegiate as expected, break in time very minimal

Needed 48 inch reins for my new, smaller horse. These are well made, relatively flexible and soft right out of the package. Much nicer than the stiff reins made from dryer, lower quality leather. Collegiate advises you to oil them before using. I rubbed them generously with neats foot oil and placed them in a ziplock bag overnight. The next day, the reins had absorbed most of the oil and were all the more supple. I like that these shorter reins don't hang down too far on my 14.1 horse. Very happy with this purchase and always confident in Collegiate's quality.
