Elastic fantastic reins

[TallyHo123]

Just wondering if anyone uses them or if they have tried them.
thinking of getting some but not to sure

Have you looked at the flexi rein they are a lot cheaper and do the same job. Worth looking at before you spend £60 odd quid.

I have them and think they are good but not necessarily all they are cracked up to be. You either have good hands or you don't, but I like to think they are kinder than normal reins.

You can get a short bit elastic rein from tack shops which links the normal reins to the bit. I can't remember what you call it but it would be cheaper still

I have some new flexi-reins I might consider selling

 

[MerryMaker]

they're a great invention for people with crap hands. been designed as too many people hold their horses heads in and do not have an elastic contact therefore not allowing the horse to take the contact forward. if you can ride with a light elastic contact then you don't need them. If you restrict with your hands or move around too much, it's the product for you and a great tool.

I used the carl hester flexi reins on my young horse for a while. Found them to be very useful, we have now graduated on to 'proper reins'!!

So Carl Hester reins looking for a new home. PM if interested!
