Marlene's 5 Plait Leather Reins are five plait braided. The five plait braid reduces the amount of stretch while providing excellent grip. Upgrade from your slick, flat leather and nylon reins. We use the highest quality leather and then hand braid it.
"I have used this rein for over twenty years and I truly believe it is the best. I prefer leather instead of nylon for numerous reasons, but the main reason is that leather will break if your horse gets in a jam. For instance, if you tie your horse up by the reins and he pulls back, I am sure you would rather break your reins then your expensive headstall or bit, or worse yet, tear up your horses mouth. "
"I put a brass snap on one side of my rein so I can always unsnap my reins when I get off of my horse. This is much safer than having a loop rein that my horse could put a leg through and have a wreck."
