What length are cob size reins?

[Rolocookiepepsi]

Hmm.. Let's see if I can ask a simple, honest question that I need answered without being insulted and picked upon yet again..

I'd like to know, in inches, what length are cob sized reins? Have a pair and I need to make sure they will fit.
Thank you

Depends on how big the cob is to whether they will fit or not. A pony sized cob would need shorter reins than a 16hh cob.

 

[Rolocookiepepsi]

He is a 14.2 nf pony

 

[lhotse]

Jeffries cob reins are 54 inches, which is what I use on a 14.2hh arab.

 

[Rolocookiepepsi]

Should be okay then as the ones that came in the post are 54" have managed to chew through his old ones

Not a cob then. Needs pony reins, or he will become impossible

 

[Rolocookiepepsi]

Is that really nessacary?

Necessary...

It was a joke. There is quite a lot of joking around on this forum. If you can't take it in the spirit in which it's intended, I suspect that this is the wrong forum for you

It was a joke clearly intended to offend considering the recent insults I have received on previous posts

Necessary. Can't help it, I've been marking coursework today.

 

[Rolocookiepepsi]

Well good for you, aren't you mature?!

No - it wasn't. It was just a joke. You need to lighten up, and stop taking yourself so seriously

 

[Rolocookiepepsi]

Maybe I'd stop taking myself so seriously if I hadn't been beaten down on all my posts

It probably depends on what sort of neck your pony / cob has. I have a 14.1hh l/w cob and use full size reins and still swear they are too short. She doesn't curl her neck much so takes up a lot of rein.

whereas I have a 14hh welsh cob and a 15hh irish cob x and I use pony length reins :lol:
Maybe I've got longer arms than normal ?!

OP I'd agree that cob are usually 54", my pony ones are 48".

I've got pony reins on my double bridle, and Alf is 17hh! Can't bear loops of rein everywhere.

I use pony reins on my 14.2. I used to use cob reins, but when she is excited (usually when she knows she is about to jump) her head comes up like a giraffe, and with my stirrups at jumping length my foot was getting caught in the loop. Yes, I have short legs......

good lord, no , me neither. they'd get stuck under your feet given half the chance.

Lol, see post above made at the same time! haha!

Haha! Bet you thought you were exaggerating! Unfortunately I wasn't.....

 

[milliepops]

No... it's happened to me, which is why i only use short reins now! You are not alone, sadly :lol:

 

[SuperH]

I must have short arms as both of my 14.2s are in full length reins. They don't have long necks either. I think it is personal preference really, try what you have and if you don't like them try to swap them for a different length.
