[RC] re: [RC] good places to buy biothane and/or zilco? - rosalieCan't help with your title question, but I do have some experience with riding in buckle reins and western saddle pads. (I use navajos under my english saddle). I had a pair of cotton braided reins, and they would sometimes stretch out and become so long that they did get caught on the corner of my pad. Depending on how stiff/heavy the pad was it was a problem at times (sorta like when you were standing on the poppers!) When I use shorter reins, I don't have the problem. Depending on how long your horse's neck is and how slack you keep your reins, but you could probably do it. I like rope reins, the last one I made for myself was a single rope with snaps on the ends. I'm thinking it would be safer to join two halves with sewn-on leather and a buckle or even velcro, in case I come off and the horse steps on the rein. Rosalie Sheryl O asked <<<<<I have been borrowing my trainer's bridle with the English style buckle reins and really like them but she tells me I shouldn't use them with a westen saddle pad as they get caught up under the corners of them. I haven't had a problem so far and I like their length, the grip etc. See any problems with buckle reins for trail riding? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
