quick question

[Josh_craney]

what in width is bigger for reins, 3/4 or 5/8

 

[moodymare1987]

erm i may be totally of the mark here but id say 3/4. lol brain not functioning properly today

 

[Irishcobs]

3/4 I think, if my maths are right.

 

[JoBo]

I'm thinking 3/4 as that equals 6/8 as opposed to 5/8s!

 

[horsegirl]

3/4 would be 6/8 therefore larger than 5/8 better get some revision in before your GSCEs - LOL

 

[Sal_E]

Jo's right! If it were 6/8 & you took that to the lowest denominator, it would be 3/4 - so 5/8 is less than 6/8 & 6/8 would be equal to 3/4! Does that makes sense!

 

[Josh_craney]

so who knows the measurements in millimeteres of 3/4 compared to 5/8

 

[horsegirl]

Have a look at a ruler! But there are 25mm to an inch so 25/4*3 or 25/8*4

 

[GTs]

I can not believe that question was asked.........

 

[Sal_E]

Why not?

 

[Josh_craney]

yeh why not?im sorry if im not a master experinced saddler as yourself gts who knows all the measurements of tack

 

[Josh_craney]

all i wanted to know was the measurement of the width of a rein, in millimetres

 

[horsegirl]

You don't need to a master saddler to know that 3/4 of a inch is wider than 5/8ths of an inch! It is the same whatever you are measuring. All you need is a (very) basic grasp of simple maths.
