Crafted from premium Hermann Oak harness leather, these reins offer that sought-after 'broke-in' feel right out of the box. Whether you're in the practice pen or the show ring, the extra heft ensures a natural drape that won't blow around in the wind or lose its shape over years of hard use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I choose 'Extra Heavy' reins over standard weight?

The extra weight in these Professional's Choice reins ensures they drop quickly when you give back the slack. This gravity-fed release makes your cues much clearer to the horse, which is essential for high-level performance and training.

Q: Is Hermann Oak leather really worth it?

Absolutely. Hermann Oak is the gold standard for harness leather. It doesn't get slippery when wet or brittle in the cold, and it maintains its 'body' and grip for years, making it a favorite among professional trainers.

Q: Are these reins too long for a smaller horse?

At 7 feet, these are considered a standard performance length. They are specifically designed to be long enough for full extension during maneuvers without being so long that you risk stepping through them or getting them caught in your gear.
