| I’ve got thicker harness leather with a paracord lace that I like pretty well. My older pair is nice and broke in. I’ve got a newer pair that I need to use more as they’re still pretty stiff. |

Many makers can make you a pair of weighted barrel reins.
Ask for the weighted, hand rubbed and hot oiled reins. You'll never go back after you spoil yourself to a pair.  |

| Ditto on The Rein Man. He is on facebook (Steve Davis). I called him and he shipped me what I needed. Super nice and the product is fantastic. |

| I apologize in advance that I don't know the brand or really the technical terms to describe them, but my husband bought me a pair about 6-7 years ago, that I love. They are round braided leather with rawhide "knots" that slide. He also got me a pair without the rawhide to rope with, and I love them too. The leather is so soft and the reins are very thin, which I personally prefer, I don't like a lot there to mess with, especially roping. |

Ed Wright reins
I second this. Ed Wright reins are my absolute favorite, so supple yet not flimsy, and great quality! |

Buttery Soft Laced Leather Reins
YES! These! Love these reins and can't beat the price! Wear great,and soft, buttery feel!! They don't get all stretched and mishapened Like a lot of leather ones. Stay soft even in winter. Yet not limp or floppy.
