Horizons Roper Reins, 1/2"x 8

These are working reins for the rider who wants a plain, tough set that holds up to weather and sweat without a show-ring price. The leather is harness leather, so it takes rain, dust and long days in the sun. A skived center takes the bulk out of the middle of the rein, so you get a slim, flexible feel with gloves on or off.

Nickel plated scissor snaps let you move the reins from one bridle to the next in seconds, and the nickel plated conway adjustments let you set your length once and keep it. It suits the rider who checks fence, moves cattle and ropes after the chores are done, and wants tack that comes back for more the next morning.

Highlights

• Harness leather stands up to weather and sweat
• Skived center for a slim, flexible feel in the hand

Good to know

• Pair these with a ranch or roper saddle and a plain headstall. This is working tack, and it looks right on a horse that earns his keep.
• Wipe off mud and sweat with a damp rag, let the leather dry away from direct heat, then work in a little leather conditioner so it stays supple.
• Give the snaps and conway buckles a look before a long day. A minute of checking beats a wreck in the back pasture.
• Keep a spare set in the trailer so a broken rein does not end your ride.

Pick up a set before spring work starts and let your good bridle rest.
