FR Vincitore Libre Quick-Release Leather Grip Reins
Description
FR Vincitore Libre Rein - Quick-Release Leather Reins With Rubber Grip
The FR Vincitore Libre Rein is a 16mm leather riding rein with rubber grip and a patented quick-release connector that is designed to release when extreme force is applied. It is best for riders who want a conventional leather rein for schooling, hacking and jumping, but with a designed release point should a horse or rider get caught, or the reins become snagged.
In everyday riding the connector stays secure, so contact and feel are unchanged. Browse more horse riding reins to compare widths and materials.

FAQ
What makes the Libre Rein different from a standard rein?
It uses a patented quick-release connector designed to release when extreme force is applied, while staying secure during normal riding.
What width are these reins?
They are 16mm thick, which suits most adult hands and gives a good balance of grip and feel.
What are they made from?
High-quality leather combined with grip rubber sections for secure contact in wet conditions or when wearing gloves.
Will the reins release accidentally while I am riding?
No. The connector is designed to stay secure under normal riding pressure and only release when extreme force is applied, such as when reins are snagged.
Are they suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes, they can be used on horses and ponies. Check your usual rein length against your current reins before ordering, as a long rein on a small pony can be untidy and a short rein on a big horse can restrict you.
How do I care for them?
Wipe clean after use, use saddle soap and a leather conditioner periodically, and inspect the connector and stitching regularly. Replace the reins if any part is worn, damaged or has released under extreme load.
