These reins have no stoppers or grips to give a smooth release of pressure for friendlier riding.
- They include detachable scissor clips for versatile use.
- Easy un-clipping allows leading/groundwork or remove them easily for tying up with a lead rope.
- The clips are light enough to provide a breaking point. If a horse steps on the rein it’s better to break a clip than the bridle or your horse!
- Designed to be light enough for good release (< 300g) on the LightRider bitless bridle/noseband chinstrap.
- Easy to remove or replace the clips with buckled rein ends.
Leather Reins match the leather bridles in 5/8″ drum dyed leather.
Sizes: Cob = 2.6m (100″), Full = 3m (118″), Warmblood = 3.6m (142″).

I don’t like really long or fat reins so I chose these in cob size for my 15hh horse. They are perfect. Slim and nice leather, the clip makes them easy to attach to my baroque hackamore shanks. Great that they came in brass and tan which is what matched my bridle.

They are perfect with the Stockhorse bitless bridle I have. Nice light weight to match the bridle. Love the quality.

I ordered the Warmblood length reins. I wanted the extra length as I don’t like to be short of reins when I am riding. No chance of losing your reins when your horse is drinking in the river.

In Spain I cannot find cotton reins with this high quality.

I was unable to buy cotton reins in England so they had to come from the other side of the world. They are excellent, really nice to hold. Would certainly buy some more

Prefer these reins for my hackamore, as I don’t like all the ropes flapping around the head and neck area. They are also much lighter than most rope reins.
Wish they came in colours to match halters, as the black and brown, are easy to lose.

Bought reins for my daughter & myself, great can swap between bridles, affordable price, nice & light for us both, clips great for small hands very happy with purchase.

The polyrope reins have a nice feel – silky smooth and light. They are long enough that I can sit upright whilst Murphy (16.3hh warmblood/cob) grazes or drinks. The clips work well and are also light. Our 11′ Parelli finesse reins are much heavier and weigh 550 grams compared with the Lightrider reins weighing less than 300 grams. I recommend this product.

Very comfortable to hold. Really nice looking. Great clips- easy to us.
Match the light-rider bridle.
Very happy.

I love these reins. So light to use. Easy clip on and off. Look great too with my bitless stockhorse bridle.

Lovely quality and very convenient snap, which can double as a lead rope, on the leading ring – very clever.

Love these reins, comfortable to use allowing ease of release as reward for your horse’s good efforts. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

I bought the cotton reins for my lightrider bridle. They are 1 inch wide which is what I like, very light weight, and comfortable to hold without gloves.

I very much love my new reins, they are soo fine and light, and my horse is quite appreciative of the weight. He’s very responsive with them. They have a really nice, flexible but firm and soft feel to them.
I would definitely recommend them!

excellent feel of the reins. I am using them as lead for the soft rope halter – excellent, feel safe & secure, and just ‘right’ weight.

The "black & gold" rope reins look great with my black stockhorse style Lightrider bridle and are a good length for loose reined trail riding (I got the full size for my 15.3hh horse). They have a very nice feel.

I like these leather reins. The clips are a little touchy but that’s fine as the reins are great for their price especially. I am very happy with them.
Fran (verified owner) –
So lightweight. Easy on, easy off. Nice solid clips too. I highly recommend these, particularly if you use the LightRider bridle.

I love these reins because you don’t need gloves and finger feel touch is so much better than a ‘grip’.

I use the biothane reins on my pony and find them to be really user friendly. They are nice and soft on your hands, but are still grippy. They are also very easy to clean, just wipe over with a damp cloth.

These are the best reins I have used so far! They are so light, soft and comfortable in the hands.

I love the reins as they do give a fast rein release. They are soft, light and very nice to ride in .
I have the swivel clip on them as I do ground work before hand.
Great rein worth buying.
I am a trail rider.

I was very impressed with my LightRider Poly Rope reins! They are incredibly comfortable on my hands, light, and look great (both as a lead rope and as reins). They serve many purposes – I use mine as a lead rope, a lunge line (they are long enough!) and of course, as reins. Everything I expected and more 🙂

I love my Black Light Rider Bitless Bridle made of Deluxe Biothane. I love the quality, the look and the fit on Ali.
I really like the light weight reins and the feel of them.
When on a loose rein they do not swing like a heavier rein will do.

The LightRider Rope Reins are very soft! When I go on 2hr Trail Rides, the reins are very comfortable! They are nice and grippy and don’t rub my hands at all! Also, my horse seems to be lighter in them! I love the quality of them! Very nice!! 🙂
