How do you take care of your English Reins?
Cleaning the ThinLine English Reins is super easy! Wipe the rein down with a baby wipe prior to riding can keep light arena dust from settling and improve the non-slip function.
Make sure your reins are clear of chemicals! Show Sheen and some fly sprays will eventually cause mild stiffening of the edges of the foam. If you are using chemicals please rinse your hands before riding and you will greatly improve the longevity of your reins. Temperature can alter the feel of the reins. The warmer they are, the softer they will be and the more non-slip. Your hand generally provides enough warmth to get the rein to the optimal performance temperature.
What length should I choose for the English Reins?
- 54″ – 137 cm; This is the standard length.
Your horse can lower his head without coming to contact and just relax the neck. - 60″ – 152 cm; Works perfect for the larger horses or big/long-necked horses
The length of your English reins is important for your horse’s comfort but most horses will do well in a standard length.

Lovely feel to the reins, especially for my rather arthriticky hands

Expensive but very good reins

Haven’t given it five stars only because I haven’t tried them in the rain yet!
Jan McKernan –
I have osteoarthritis in my fingers and am slowly losing my grip ability. I’ve tried ‘bobble’ reins but the pressure required between thumb and forefinger is causing pain in thumbs. These reins are non-slip throughout, so grip to anywhere they are in contact with my gloved hand, so don’t slip through, even if my hands get tired. Highly recommend them!!
Mrs Sarah Stott –
I have arthritis in both hands. I was finding my old reins difficult to manage. These reins are so comfortable, and my horse seems more relaxed….so win win for both of us.

These reins have improved the contact with my thoroughbred horse beyond my expectations!
I also have found them comfortable for my arthritic hand joints so a win win for us both!
Highly recommend!

Delivered very quickly I ordered black but the cushioned part of the reins were a brownish black also a little thicker than previous reins I’ve bought which offered the same feeling which is a shame but they do the job comfortable to hold with me having arthritis in my fingers.
