Arena Padded Reins
Soft padded leather sits in your hand, with notches for your fingers that add grip and comfort. They suit dressage, arena work and a relaxed hack.
Supple, strong leather runs down to the bit with a stainless steel billet closure, and they are made to match the bridles in the Arena range, such as the Arena Dressage Bridle.
Size Guide
The chart shows the measurements of Arena bridles and reins in each size.
Choosing your reins
- Pony reins are 14 mm wide and 122 cm long. Full reins are 18 mm wide and 137 cm long.
- If you are not sure, compare with the reins you use now.
See the full bridle and rein sizing chart and Arena bridles and reins 101 for more.
Measurements are a guide only. They are rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm and then converted to inches, and the organic shape of saddlery means small differences between pieces are normal.
