Performance and longevity were in mind when these reins were designed. This barrel rein features a 5 plait latigo leather braid and braided knots, finishing out to a 7/8-inch thickness. Though these reins are a touch thicker than some of the others, they don't carry any extra weight. Also equipped with hardware for easy length adjustments. Martin Saddlery strap is hand-oiled and hand-finished the traditional cowboy way. Some variations in leather tones may occur.
