LeMieux Rolled Rubber Grip Bridle Reins for Horses
Description
LeMieux Rolled Reins - Textured Rubber Grip for All Weathers
The LeMieux Rolled Reins are rolled bridle reins with a textured rubber grip surface and a nylon lining, finished with discreet billet ends that fasten to the bit. They are designed to accompany the LeMieux rolled patent bridle, making them best for riders who want a coordinated, show-ready bridle with secure grip in wet or sweaty conditions.
Soft and flexible under the hand, they suit flatwork, schooling, hacking and the show ring, and work equally well for everyday yard use as for competition days.

How to Use
- Lay the reins flat and check the billet ends are undone and the studs are intact.
- Thread the billet end through the bit ring from the inside out.
- Fasten the billet stud through the hole in the leather tab and press home firmly.
- Repeat on the opposite side, checking both reins sit level and untwisted.
- Check the rein length in the saddle - your hands should sit just in front of the withers with a light contact and no loop dragging.
- After riding, wipe the rubber grip with a damp cloth and dry naturally away from direct heat.
FAQ
What size reins do I need?
Reins are matched to the bridle they accompany, so order to your bridle size - pony, cob or full. If you are between sizes or have a long-necked horse, the larger size gives more room in the hand; too-short reins are one of the most common reasons for returns.
Are rubber grip reins good for wet weather?
Yes. The textured rubber surface is designed to grip in any weather, which makes these reins a practical choice for rain, humid days and horses that sweat up in work.
What are billet ends?
Billet ends are small leather tabs with a stud fastening that attach the rein to the bit ring. They sit more discreetly than buckles or hook studs, giving a cleaner look for showing.
Can I use these reins for showing?
Yes. The rolled design and discreet billet ends give a refined finish suited to the show ring, as well as to everyday schooling and flatwork.
How do I clean rubber reins?
Wipe the rubber grip with a damp cloth and allow the reins to dry naturally away from direct heat. Treat the leather billet ends with a suitable leather balm and check the stitching and studs regularly, replacing the reins if you find damage or wear.
Will these reins match my existing bridle?
They are designed to accompany the rolled patent bridle. On other bridles, check that the leatherwork colour and finish are a close match before pairing them.
