Rein-Aid® Inserts buckle
to your bit and your regular reins attach to the rings on the
Inserts. Recommended for use with a bit suitable
for starting horses when teaching them to break at the poll
and
give to the bit. Heavy handed riders on finished horses may
use them with any style bit to soften the effects of their
hands
and improve their horses level of comfort.
Although Rein-Aid® was originally
created for English riders, Western riders are quickly jumping
aboard our customer list. Trainers have found the Rein-Aid® Inserts much
easier to use than the crude inner tubes commonly used for breaking
colts and teaching them to give to the bit. The durable and heavy
duty elastic is backed by leather and allows the horse to remain
relaxed and find his comfort zone without the rider loosing the
ability to take and release at the perfect moment. Rein-Aid® is
recommended for all young horses to assist in educating them to
break at the poll. A finished horse will no longer need the Rein-Aid® unless
they are ridden by inexperienced or heavy handed riders in which
case Rein-Aid® will prevent the horse from
becoming tense or grumpy.
For riders involved in intense sports such as Barrel
Racing or Roping, the elastic prevents abuse on the horse’s
mouth. Because the elastic is backed by leather, the stretch is
limited to ensure normal control and to provide consequences for
horses that don’t respond to the initial cue. The horse is
guaranteed a softer connection and responds faster to the elastic
feel than without, as they don’t waste time resisting the
bit.
Due to customer demand we have built the Rein-Aid® into
a leather 5 plait braided rein for use in competition. Customers
now have the choice of ordering the Rein-Aid® Insert or
the full Elasto-Rein®.

“I know I’m hard on
my horses’ mouths during a run, which is why I use Elasto-Rein®.
Both my guys are much happier and our times are faster. Sure
is great to be able to help them like this!”
