Redhide Plaited Reins

Our Redhide plaited reins are all handmade and plaited in our workshop. With the option for brass or stainless hardware, split or joined and also an optional extra for a buckle to join the ends.

The most common question I get with these reins is what length do I need?

My recommendations are:
- 4 foot 9 length for Polocrosse players, or those that prefer joined reins as there's less to get caught up while playing. I do recommend these to be joined as there is not enough weight to hold the reins either side of the wither.
- 5 foot 6 length for Campdrafters or those who prefer to bridge their reins. I believe this is the perfect length for general working use or those who like to switch between split and joined - for regulation reasons.
- 6 foot length I believe is best for training as the extra length allow for a leg extension if needed. However to get this length in the Redhide, it's very rare. So if we do have them available they will not last long.
- 3 plait: I recommend for larger hands. Most men tend to prefer the three plait.
- 5 plait: is perfect for smaller hands. Ladies the 5 plait feels amazing and doesn't feel like it's cutting into your hand!

22mm width at the bit/buckle, expanding to an inch and a half for extra strength before reaching the plait. Available in the following lengths:
- 4'9"
- 5'6"
- 6' (depending on length of hides - very hard to get)
