5/8″ DM Harness Leather Split Reins #ASR6
$135.00Description: We recommend these reins if you’re riding colts or other small horses. These heavy harness leather reins measure 6 1/2 to 7 feet long and 5/8 inch wide. These are also an ideal length if you’re riding in a snaffle, sidepull, sliding gag, or German martingale. They are long enough to have plenty of rein to work with but they won’t drag the ground or get in your way on those colts and horses that are under 14.2 hands.
Crafting: This tight fibered harness leather will last for years of hard use. They are hand edged, hand rubbed, oiled and hand rubbed again for a great feel before they are shipped to you. If you have any questions please feel free to call 832-529-9226 and we’ll “talk reins”.

5/8″ Latigo on Latigo Reins, Medium Weight #BLL1
$149.00Description: Dennis cuts these doubled and stitched reins 5/8” wide. He makes them in two lengths: 7′ for horses under 14.2 hands and 7’9” for horses over 14.2 (see dropdown for choices). These Latigo on Latigo 5/8″ medium weight reins have very good feel and body.
To make these reins Dennis sews 2 pieces of latigo leather together with small, tight stitches. This makes the reins 9/32nd of an inch thick. All of the work is done by hand. He edges these reins by hand, rubs them, oils them and rubs them again.
How they work: This is Dennis’ 50th year making cowboy tack and he knows which leather makes the best reins. He personally chooses each hide he uses to make sure you’ll have good even contact and communication with your horse. There are no gray signals with these reins.
These are our best selling doubled and stitched reins and are a favorite in the show ring. They will hold their flexibility and shape even in cold weather and they are built to last.
Try a pair; it will be the best pair of doubled and stitched reins you have owned, we guarantee it.

They are 1/2 inch wide and have 5 adjustment holes (with room for more) to allow you to change the length between 4 1/2 and 6 inches. The roller buckles are stainless steel.
