We carry Dyon rubber reins in pony sizes, available in 5/8" and 1/2" widths. For more pony rein patterns including web, leather and grip-aid styles, see the parent reins collection - most CWD and Butet reins come in pony lengths to order.
How do I size a pair of reins for a pony?
Pony reins are shorter than full-size adult reins. A standard pony rein is typically around 130cm-140cm long, suiting riders on ponies 12hh-14.2hh. Reins should sit comfortably in the rider's hand at working contact without pulling tight or hanging slack. Tell us the pony's height and the rider's age and we'll confirm the right length.
What is the difference between leather, rubber and web pony reins?
Rubber reins (the Dyon pony pattern) give the strongest grip in wet weather and on a strong pony. Web reins are lighter in the hand and suit dressage and flatwork. Leather reins are the classic choice and give the most direct feel. For young riders or anyone working on hand position, a plaited-finish rein with leather loops gives a clear grip reference - the Dyon plaited rein is available in pony sizes through the parent reins collection.
Do you stock rainbow or grip-aid reins for young riders?
The Dyon plaited finish rein with leather loops gives a clear grip reference for hand position and is available in pony sizes via the parent reins collection. For dedicated rainbow or marker-band reins for younger riders, contact us and we can usually source on request.
Which brands do you carry for pony reins?
Dyon for the pony-specific rubber rein options. CWD and Butet also produce pony-length reins to order; contact us if you'd prefer those brands for your pony.
How do I care for leather pony reins?
Wipe down after every ride. Clean weekly with mild saddle soap and condition sparingly with a quality leather balm. Avoid heavy oiling. Inspect the bit-end attachments regularly for stitching or stud wear.
