Regarding Reins...
I have this thing about my horse stepping on the reins which causes
me to
be afraid to use anything but leather. The best horse I ever had stepped on
his
reins once, while walking up a steep hill, I lost MY footing and dropped
them.
Thankfully, they broke, as leather-I have heard- is supposed to, and for
that I
was most grateful. I just patched them together and they are still in use.
Due to this, I now just about refuse to use reins that are not of
leather, or
don't have leather ends. One of my greatest fears, also, is when I have the
reins
gathered up at a gallop or trot, the hanging loop will catch around my
foot???
Any suggestions to avoid this???

Char,
May I ask just how long your reins are hanging? I have never had this kind of
problem and I am having trouble imagining how long the reins must be to get
tangled in your foot or for the horse to step on them. I think we need more
info.
