Latigo on Latigo 1/2″ Reins, Medium Weight #BLL4
$145.00
Description: If you’ve got smaller hands and are looking for a double and stitched rein with body and drape but not too much bulk these are a good pick. In your choice of 7 feet or 7 feet 9 inches long, these Medium Weight Latigo on Latigo 1/2 Inch Reins are our best selling double & stitched reins for ladies and youth with small hands. Because they are light, but drape so well when a horse is shown on a really loose rein, these are also a favorite with reiners. We make the 7’9″ length for average size horses. The 7′ length works for those who are training the smaller cutting & cow horse colts and for disciplines like ranch sorting where horses are shown gathered up through continuous quick turns. Choose the length you prefer in the dropdown.
These are made of medium weight leather that’s approximately 18 oz. making the reins 9/32nd of an inch thick after they’re stitched together. These reins are edged by hand, rubbed, oiled and rubbed again. This extra hand work adds to their great feel. Every detail we put in their production coupled with the fact we buy only the highest quality hides to make our reins gives you that good even contact with your horses face you’re looking for.
These reins are built to last.
