These Double Diamond Flat Waxed Nylon Split Reins are made from hollow braid waxed nylon rope in a tighter construction than the 1" reins and are then rolled flat to make a nice 1/2" x 8' (4901-8) rein. They are not too stiff from over waxing and the hollow braid construction prevents them from curling. The 1/2" fits well in smaller hands and works well for one hand reining, where the rider needs a narrower rein to fit between the fingers. They connect to the bit with 5/8" wide 10/11 oz burgundy harness leather water straps and have a 1/2" slit braid popper on the other end. All leather is edge dyed for a distinctive finish. | Double Diamond Halter Co. Flat Waxed Nylon Split Reins | Size 1" x 7'
