A rainbow rein is a teaching aid with coloured bands or markers along the length, giving young or novice riders a clear visual reference for hand position. Each colour band represents a specific contact length, helping the rider learn consistent rein management.
When should I use rainbow reins?
Use rainbow reins for teaching young or novice riders. They're particularly useful in lessons where an instructor calls out specific colours to help the rider find the right contact position. Some adult riders also use marker-band reins for precise contact retraining.
What rainbow rein and grip-aid brands do you stock?
One Equestrian Rein Bows - loop reins for grip. The Dyon plaited-finish rein with leather loops (in reins) gives a similar grip-reference effect. For dedicated rainbow reins or marker-band reins, contact us and we can usually source on request.
How do I size a rainbow rein?
Standard rein sizing applies - pony for ponies, cob for cobs, full for full-size horses. Rainbow rein lengths match standard rein lengths.
How do I care for rainbow reins?
Most rainbow reins are synthetic and machine-washable cool. Rubber and leather grip-aid reins clean like standard reins of the same material.
