I had a REAL problem not once but twice.. with biothaine reins.. the horse
did step thru them..they were the short reins..since i used a long tailing
line vs the reins..
well the head came up the reins pulled under the elbow..the leg came up the
front came up the horse started to go over..in a creek near a pile of rocks
and a cement bridge. the reins had the squeeze type sanp ends LUCKY I was
able to reach up and release the reins....then it happended again.. in
another ride.

i cut ALL my bio reins in half.. over-lapped and taped with duct tape.. i can
pull it apart..i will never use a solid loop rein.. i like bio but it never
breaks..

My sister and I were talking about this problem last year on a
ride-since I ride with rope reins.  We discussed the possibility
of cutting them in half, and then connecting back with strong
velcro-enough so they won't pull apart in normal use, but strong
enough so you can ride "on the buckle".
