Where to find.......

A relatively short pair of pelham split reins, with half rubbers?

Does such a thing exist? Who could make me some? Short, because they are for hunting (and 2 reins are an unnecessary handful under the circumstances). Half rubber, because I find full rubbers too much to keep hold of. And split, because I think roundings are ugly!

Currently I use a pair of Sabre half rubber show reins on roundings, but I was boredly musing over the alternatives after looking at our opening meet photos.

Any ideas gratefully received. Thankies!

Doh, I didn't even know split reins existed - what a good idea! Roundings make your reins far too long and they end up under your saddle flaps or your legs (well they did mine anyway).

Might have to invest. I think they look smarter than roundings, especially if you are showing and don't want to use 2 reins for any reason. I'd never seen any with rubber available before though.
