Not my preference
"Reins are very thick and inflexible. No amount of leather balm will soften them up."

These are extremely heavy reins.
"These are extremely heavy reins. Make sure that’s what you’re looking for."
Game Changer Split reins!!
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Game-Changer Split Reins! I couldn’t be happier with the Billy Royal Oiled Hermann Oak Double and Stitched Leather Split Reins — they are an absolute game changer! The quality is outstanding right out of the box. What impressed me most is their perfect stiffness — not too floppy, not too rigid — which makes them incredibly responsive and easy to handle in the show pen. I rode just one show with these reins and guess what? We won everything! The feel in my hands was solid and confident, and I truly believe it helped elevate my performance. The double stitching and premium Hermann Oak leather not only look great but also feel durable and secure. Highly recommend for anyone serious about their tack. These reins are worth every penny!"
Great reins
"These reins are going to last a long time. They were a gift for my dad he LOVES THEM!!! They for sure are very durable."
I would buy the brand again but not the style
"Very good quality, However very thick in my hands. Best for a person with very large hands. Wish they were only double stitched in the side nearest the bit and the ends, as the double leather going through my hands is not comfortable."
I would buy this product again.
"Excellent set of reins. They look great and feel good in the hands."
Definitely will be buying more!!
"These are extremely supple reins with a great weight and length! Well stitched."
Would buy again
"Excellent quality heavy reins"
I doubt I will ever wear this set out.
"I bought these and the single-layer thick of Hermann Oak set after gradually realizing I wasn't going to get anything but disposable foreign made junk from the local feed/tack stores. I broke 3 sets of the fancy expensive stuff in 3 very inconvenient placesâ ”made me go hunting online for quality. These are a total handful, but they will never leave you stranded."
