Schneiders® Rubber Lined Leather Grip Reins with Stoppers

Rubber-lined leather reins combine the classic feel and durability of supple buffalo leather on top with a grippy rubber bottom side that won't slip in your hands, even in wet conditions. This hybrid construction gives you the best of both worlds—the elegant appearance of leather with the secure hold of rubber, so you maintain consistent contact and control with your horse.

Yes, these reins come in a standard 54" length with a 5/8" width, which is the typical size for most English riding disciplines. The 54" length works well for average-sized horses and riders; if you ride a very large draft horse or a small pony, you may want to confirm this length fits your specific setup before purchasing.

The leather stoppers placed every 3" along the reins serve two purposes: they give you extra grip points so your hands don't slip along the rein, and they help you maintain even pressure on both sides of your horse's mouth. These tactile markers also let you quickly feel if you're holding the reins symmetrically, which is important for balanced control.

Buffalo leather is naturally durable and supple, making it relatively low-maintenance. You can wipe them down with a soft cloth after riding to remove dirt and sweat, and occasionally condition them with leather conditioner to keep the material soft and prevent cracking. Avoid excessive water exposure and store them in a cool, dry place to extend their lifespan.

Yes, these reins have leather martingale stoppers on the ends that prevent them from sliding through your martingale attachment or buckles. This added security feature keeps your reins in place and prevents them from accidentally slipping off, which is especially useful during active riding or if you need to quickly adjust your grip.

These reins come in a sophisticated Havana color, which is a warm, rich brown tone that complements most traditional English saddles and bridles. Havana is a versatile neutral shade that pairs well with darker leather tack and works across multiple disciplines, from hunters and jumpers to dressage riders.
