The elastic in the Balanced Support Reins helps absorb sudden movements when a pony or horse pulls or drops its head unexpectedly. This softens the impact on the rider’s hands and arms, providing a more forgiving connection between horse and rider. As a result, the rider has more time to respond, stay balanced, and maintain a steady contact, which is especially helpful for younger or less experienced riders who are still developing their coordination and confidence.

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.
