Reins are an essential part of riding a horse so it is always a good idea to have an extra pair lying around. 

What are reins used for when horse riding?

Horse reins are used to control the horse. The rider controls the reins by holding them with their hands and they run through to the bit which sits in the horse's mouth. This allows the rider to control the speed and direction in which the horse is travelling. 

Reins come in a variety of styles, which each serve a different purpose. Reins traditionally are made out of leather, however, they do come in rubber, roper and synthetic varieties. It is important to select the right reins for the type of horse riding you are doing as it can make a big difference to the amount of control you have over the horse.
