Amerigo Hand Grip Rubber Reins

When it comes to being ahead of the competition, Amerigo is the number one choice for professional and serious amateur riders alike. Just in time for the competition season they have launched a new set of reins that are perfect for any discipline and help riders keep their hands in the right position and keep their reins short enough. They were designed together with top show jumper Edwina Alexander and are made from a soft rubber with leather handgrips

The Hand Grip Reins from Amerigo are a more effective version of the traditional “continental” reins that have been around for years. But their secret lies in that they have nearly double the amount of leather stoppers sewn down the length of the reins so you always can get a perfect position. They are placed every 6cm and provide not only a better grip but allow the rider to keep a more precise and steadier contact.

The reins are shorter than normal reins to avoid the danger of getting the foot caught up in the excess loop if using them for showjumping or eventing – especially when riding smaller horses.

However how many times do you have a dressage lesson and your reins keep slipping through your fingers?

Simon Middleton, Director of Zebra Products Ltd the distributor of Amerigo who trains with Charlotte Dujardin was constantly being admonished for letting his reins slip – but not now and Charlotte is suitably impressed with the steady contact he now has during the dressage phase of his eventing!
