Contact Reins in Leather for Horses | Beginner Riding Aid for Balance & Control
Our Contact Reins are thoughtfully designed to support beginner, young, and developing riders by helping maintain steady, consistent rein contact. Crafted from premium leather and featuring an integrated elastic support system, they provide an added layer of stability while still allowing natural movement.
Ideal for riders still developing balance, coordination, and quiet hands, these reins are a practical training aid for both horse and rider.
How They Work
The sliding elastic support reins attach to the saddle D-rings and work alongside the reins to help maintain a more consistent connection.
The elastic support engages when the horse lowers its head beyond a normal working position, helping the rider maintain steadier contact.
Rather than replacing the rider’s hands, the reins provide an added layer of support to help improve consistency and rider confidence.
Extenders are available separately if your saddle does not have D-rings.
