Elastic rein inserts?

[Paint it Lucky]

Anyone know where you can get these? Have been looking at the Carl Hester Fantstic Elastic reins and they seem very good, but a lot of money. Think something like this would really help my older horse and am sure I've seen just inserts that you can buy but can't find them anywhere, can anyone help?

Do you mean flexi reins? look them up on e-bay. May be what you mean.

 

[Paint it Lucky]

Yes that's them! Thanks sarahsum1

 

[Paint it Lucky]

Also does anyone have any? What do you think of them?

 

[Sarah Sum1]

I have them. They are supposed to help absorb some of the jerks from the riders hands. I've only been using them a few days but they seem good. Think i paid about £5 for mine on e-bay.

I found some on ebay, not bought them yet but I do plan to get some

Ebay has them at reasonable prices

Ebay do a copy - don't know if they're as good. Actual Flexi-reins are around £30

Expensive but really worth it, horses seem to love them

If you want them for dressage, check the rules first.

i have them and i love them my horse is so much more softer with them,

I have some 'Fantastic Elastic' reins. They have made such a difference in just a few schooling sessions to both of us !

You are right you can’t use them at a competition under BD rules.
