At Equijump, we know that reins are much more than simple straps — they’re a critical connection between rider and horse. For Irish equestrians, this connection is tested daily: through variable weather, diverse training conditions, and the need for both functionality and tradition. Our Horse Reins collection has been carefully curated to reflect this reality — combining performance, craftsmanship, and lasting comfort for Ireland’s riders.
Built to withstand Irish weather and terrain, our reins are made from premium French leather, non-slip rubber, and durably stitched webbing. For example, the CWD Raised Rubber Contact Reins offer a tactile, cushioned grip ideal for jumping and cross-country. For a refined turnout option, the Half-Rubber Hunter Reins 13mm balance elegance with functionality, giving a polished look with added traction.
Reins like the CWD Loop Leather Reins are perfect for maintaining consistent hand position — ideal for junior riders or those refining their contact. For more advanced flatwork, the CWD Leather German Draw Reins and CWD Rope German Draw Reins offer flexible training support when developing softness, outline, or self-carriage.
Irish riders train and compete in all weather — and your tack should keep up. That’s why our reins are tested for grip retention in moisture, tensile resistance, and buckling security. Rein models such as the Dyon 1/2" Rubber Reins with Leather Loops help you maintain even rein length and pressure, ideal for high-focus disciplines like eventing or flat schooling.
When paired with our premium bridles, martingales, and girths, these reins become part of a balanced, secure tack system built for Irish riding.
Discipline, horse sensitivity, and rider experience all play a role. Rubber reins offer grip for jumping and hacking, while hunter reins keep things tidy and elegant in the show ring. Riders training with frame development in mind benefit from draw reins or gogue reins to promote lightness and balance.
Rubber reins, such as the CWD Raised Rubber Contact Reins, are ideal for maintaining grip during wet or muddy rides. Their textured surface prevents slipping and offers consistent contact, even in Irish weather.
Yes, loop leather reins help riders develop consistent hand positioning by providing clear tactile markers. They're especially beneficial for juniors or anyone working on balanced, steady contact.
German draw reins, like those in this collection from CWD, assist in encouraging proper head carriage and softness during flatwork. They're used as a training aid to improve outline and suppleness—not as a replacement for basic rein contact.
Braided or web reins offer a textured feel that enhances feedback and hand security. These reins are often lighter and provide better moisture wicking, making them suitable for active training sessions or warmer climates.
