Waldhausen Star Rainbow Rubber Grip Leather Reins
Description
Waldhausen Star Rainbow Rubber Reins
The Waldhausen Star Rainbow Rubber Reins are leather horse riding reins with a rubber grip section in four different colours, supplied with leather martingale stops. They are designed for riders who want a secure, non-slip contact for schooling, lessons, hacking and everyday flatwork.
Rubber grip reins are best for wet weather, gloved hands and forward-going horses, where a plain leather rein can slide through the fingers. The included leather stops mean a running martingale can be fitted straight away and held in place along the rein.

How to Use

- Buckle or stud the rein billets onto the bit rings on both sides, making sure both sides match.
- Slide the leather martingale stops into position if you are riding in a running martingale, keeping them clear of the bit rings.
- Mount and take up an even contact, holding the rubber grip section rather than the plain leather.
- After riding, wipe the leather clean, sponge the rubber grip and hang the reins to dry naturally.

FAQ
What are the Waldhausen Star Rainbow Rubber Reins made from?
They are leather reins with a rubber grip section in four different colours, and they come with leather martingale stops.
Do these reins come with martingale stops?
Yes. Leather martingale stops are included, so a running martingale can be fitted without buying separate stops.
Are rubber grip reins better than plain leather reins?
Rubber grip reins are generally preferred for wet weather, gloved riding and strong or forward-going horses because the textured surface is less likely to slip. Plain leather is often chosen for a more traditional look in the show ring.
What size reins should I choose for a pony or a horse?
Rein length varies between ponies, cobs, horses and larger warmbloods. Measure the reins you currently use and compare before ordering, so the contact is comfortable without an excessive loop.
How do I clean and care for these reins?
Wipe the leather after each ride and condition regularly with a leather care product. Sponge the rubber grip with clean water and dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I use these reins for jumping and hacking?
Yes. They suit everyday schooling, flatwork, lessons and hacking. Inspect the stitching, billets and stops regularly and replace the reins if you find any damage.
