Rein lengths?..

[Clofox]

Hi all,
I need to get some reins to go with my new bridle, but just wondering how sizing works? i can measure her old reins as they are fine length wise,when the lengths are shows on website is that the total length or like half? sorry never had to buy reins before..
Thanks for any help

Bump..
What is they standard pony rein length?,my pony's 13.2, i would measure her reins BUT i'm going in the morn to get them as that's the only time i've got and me being me with a memory like a sieve i forgot to measure them today

The only reins I've ever brought have only come in pony\cob\full size, so I choose cob! Maybe pony would be a good length for a 13.2? Xx

Reins are usually measured done up as if on a bit, to the buckle at the hand end, and pony 48", cob 52", full 54", x full 58", they are usually measured for width in inches with pony 1/2" wide, cob 5/8" wide and full and x full 3/4", but as yet there is no industry standard for any bridlework.

AFAIA reins came in adult and child length.

I usually go for child 'cause I am rather short and like to ride short when jumping and long reins get caught round my foot!
