"I have never been one to use side reins much, but now see them as an important barn staple! These are a nice quality leather and I prefer the elastic so that there is some give if my OTTB mare needs it. She is just learning to use them so I like the extra give! I also added some baling twine to make them a bit longer whlie she is just getting used to the idea of the side reins being in place while she is on the longe line. Very happy with this purchase."

"Good value. Reins work well and look like they will last. Should have known that they are too long for my large pony but I can punch holes. Not a big fan of the color or stiffness of the leather but it looks like it will darken and soften."

"Love using these side reins! Helps me get my mare round & in the correct frame before I get on her. After using these she is very light in the bridle. I like the rubber rings that give rather than having no flexibility at all."

"I actually have the elastic side reins. They seem to be very good quality for the price, and look as though they will last forever. They do look a little short...they are fine for my 15.2 QH, but I wonder if they might not fit a large warmblood or draft cross."

questionable

June 24, 2009
ByDressageReiner
Expertise:Intermediate
"bought both kinds (rubber ring / elastic) ... the elastic reins were Tory leather and were good quality ... the rubber ring reins were a different manufacturer and were substandard (poor quality leather and surface tanning so don't presume they will last well) ... the rubber ring reins are also quite long for even a average horse and don't have enough adjustment possibilities
the web item description doesn't state the separation well either
