Description
These reins are made of very strong Biothane webbing, reinforced with nylon, with an anti-slip finish and seven hand stops. They are meant for riders who do a lot of riding out, in all weather, and who do not want a rein that asks for leather care. Supplied in size Full, in Black and in Oak, each time with silver-coloured fittings.
About these reins
At BR, Biothane is a material designation: a webbing reinforced with nylon. That makes the rein strong and stable in shape, while it still sits supple in the hand. The composition consists of webbing, nylon and rubber. What the material is in technical terms is not set out any further, and a cleaning or care instruction, the manufacturer does not specify this.
The anti-slip finish gives extra hold, also in wet weather or in harder use. That is the practical difference from a leather rein: you do not have to spare it when it rains. The seven hand stops allow a precise hand position. Seven is one more than on the 19 mm Web Grip reins and two more than on the Eventa Pro Grip reins.
At a width of 15 mm this rein is a little slimmer and sits finely in the hand. At the bit the reins are finished with concealed fastenings. Diamond-shaped leather BR martingale stops are supplied with the reins, so for riding with a running martingale you need no separate stops.
For dressage, webbing is no obstacle: the only material restriction for reins is that they may not be made of rope material, and the leather requirement applies to the bridle and the noseband. A rein must, however, be continuous and unbroken from the bit to the hand, without additions or attachments, and with a double bridle each bit has its own rein. In showjumping you may use at most two pairs of reins, and if you use a martingale there should be only one martingale stop per rein in the arena. What applies at your competition is determined by the rules of your own discipline and federation, and the FEI requirements do not apply at national competitions: if in doubt, check in advance with your federation or the organiser.

When to choose this product
Choose these reins when you ride out a lot, in size Full, and when you do not want the care that leather asks for. For cross-country, hacking out and daily schooling that is a good combination, and with seven hand stops for riders who work precisely with rein length.
If you want leather throughout your bridle, the leather anti-slip reins or the Eventa Pro Grip reins with their leather finish at the bit suit you better. If you want rubber over the full length, look at the Eventa rubber reins. If you want a wider rein that sits more steadily in the hand, the 19 mm Web Grip reins are the choice. And if you need rein stops for a running martingale on another model, you add separate rubber rein stops.
Fit
These reins are supplied in size Full, in two colours. The manufacturer does not specify a length in centimetres; if in doubt, take the rein that is on your bridle now as your comparison. The material is stable in shape. For a pony or a Shetland pony, choose a model that exists in a smaller size, because this rein does not exist in Pony or Shetland.

Expert advice
This is the rein for the days when you would rather leave a leather rein in the cupboard: rain, mud, hacking out, cross-country. You do not have to spare it and it keeps giving hold in wet weather. Because the martingale stops are supplied, you can ride a running martingale with it without a further purchase.
The seven hand stops are a working tool: agree with your trainer which stop your hand should rest on and you have a fixed reference point for the length of your rein. A cleaning instruction, the manufacturer does not specify this; so do not assume that the rein can go in the machine.
Use & care
Attach the reins at the bit with the concealed fastenings and check that both fastenings are properly closed. If you ride with a running martingale, use the leather martingale stops supplied: pass the martingale ring over the rein and set the stop between the bit and the ring. The manufacturer does not specify a cleaning or care instruction, so keep to wiping it with a damp cloth.
