Rubber Rein Stops

Rubber Rein Stops are a simple but essential piece of equestrian tack designed to prevent martingale rings from sliding too far up the reins and becoming caught on the rein buckles.

Made from strong, stretchy rubber, the stops fit securely onto the reins while remaining flexible enough to put on and remove when required.

Practical for everyday riding, schooling and competition, rein stops are particularly important when using a running martingale.

Why Use Rein Stops?

When a running martingale is used, the martingale rings slide along the reins as the rider uses the contact.

Without rein stops, the rings can potentially travel towards the centre of the reins and catch on the rein buckle or other fittings.

Rubber rein stops create a physical barrier on each rein, helping keep the martingale rings in the intended working section.

How to Use

Fit one rein stop to each rein, positioning them between the martingale rings and the centre buckle or joining point of the reins.

Ensure the stops are correctly positioned and secure before riding.

Check your complete martingale and rein setup regularly for correct fit and signs of wear.
