Yes, Balanced Support Reins can help with hand and arm tiredness. They do this by taking some of the pressure off your hands. Because the elastic helps manage the horses movement, you don't need to grip as tightly.
This is great for longer rides or if you have reduced hand strength.
Yes, Balanced Support Reins are perfect for lessons and everyday riding, and they are approved by the Pony Club. While they are not yet permitted in formal competitions, they are excellent for developing riding skills and building confidence. We recommend checking with individual competition or show organisers, as some may allow their use at their discretion.
For those with arthritis, joint sensitivity, or other physical challenges, Balanced Support Reins—especially the Loop Handle Reins—can help reduce strain on your hands by lessening the need for a tight grip. Many riders with different needs find them much more comfortable and supportive during riding.
Balanced Support Reins are not just great for young or less experienced riders, they're also ideal for older riders and those returning to the sport.
If you're coming back to riding after a break, Balanced Support Reins can give you more confidence and control as you ease back in. A range of designs, including rubber web, a mix of rubber and leather and full leather means you'll look good while doing it too.
For instructors, Balanced Support Reins make it easier to teach a wide range of riders—from absolute beginners to experienced equestrians. They help riders maintain better balance and control, making lessons smoother and boosting confidence more quickly.
Our colour-coded Training Reins are an ideal first choice for beginners, as they encourage correct hand positioning without the need for constant reminders. This allows riders to focus on other aspects of their form, while the reins subtly support proper posture and technique.
If you're an instructor, Balanced Support Reins can be incredibly helpful during group lessons or hack rides. They support riders in maintaining better control and balance, especially in busy or unpredictable situations. This is particularly valuable when working with mixed-ability groups, where riders may need different levels of support and confidence in the saddle.
Balanced Support Reins are very versatile. That being said, different styles and materials do suit different weather conditions.
For example, our Rubber Web Reins are brilliant in the rain because they're made from strong webbing woven with rubber, giving extra grip when things get slippery.
But rest assured, all our reins are designed for all-weather riding.
