You have found the famous KHS Bio Grip Reins (sometimes referred to as “Jelly” reins). They have a standard billet hook end. These reins offer superb flexibility whilst still offering strength and grip. Traditional rubber reins are made by pulling a rubber sleeve over a plain pair of leather reins. Our Bio Grip Reins are made by attaching the leather directly to the Bio Grip material: it's a strong webbing core that is over-moulded with grippy elastomer. But be warned - once you've used them, you simply won't want to use anything else! Fully made in Walsall, UK, using Sedgwick top-quality, full vegetable tanned leather and stainless steel metal fittings. Some less common lengths may be made to order and have a slightly longer lead time. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to supply these with buckles instead of billet hooks.
Sizing and fit
Bridlework comes in Pony, Cob, Full and Extra Full. Not sure which? Measure your horse's current bridle from buckle hole to buckle hole and send Kate the numbers. Browbands are measured end to end, between the loops.
Looking after it
Wipe off mud and sweat with a damp cloth, let it dry naturally away from heat, then feed with a good leather balsam. Kate uses and stocks Jeffries leathercare. Leather looked after this way lasts for decades.
