Which side reins ?

[itsmyparty]

My instructor has suggested I get some side reins to lunge the boy, in order to build up the right muscles in his back (instead of him running around with his head in the air laughing at me). She suggested leather ones with elastic inserts but others have said plain leather are best as they don't "snap back" when the horse gives to pressure. Any top tips ?

I used nylon ones with elastic inserts when I used to lunge.

I use plain leather, I think they are still the best.

i use nylon ones with elastic inserts but they are quite tight when new so have them a few holes looser if you get some

i prefer the lungie bungie especially for young horses but it is just preference.
