Hilason Braided Poly Barrel Racing Reins - Soft Grip Contest Reins

These Hilason barrel racing reins are built for riders who want a light, fast-feeling rein in their hands when the timer starts. The 1 inch flat braid of soft poly cord lies across the fingers instead of rolling under them, and four evenly spaced knots give you the same grip point on every run. Ride them for barrel racing and speed events, then keep them on for trail riding once the season winds down.

Why a Flat Braid Beats a Twisted Rope Rein

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between barrel reins and roper reins?

Barrel reins are two separate reins, one in each hand, so you can steer independently on a tight turn. Roper reins are a single continuous loop that fastens to both ends of the bit and is ridden one-handed. These Hilason barrel racing reins are the two-rein style, with a conway buckle at each end for quick bit changes.

Are these reins leather or poly?

This pair is flat braided poly cord, not leather, so it stays soft in the hand without needing to be oiled or broken in. Poly also rinses clean in cold water and mild soap after a muddy run. If you prefer a leather rein, look for harness leather styles in the reins collection.

How do the conway buckles attach to the bit?

Each rein ends in a nickel plated conway buckle. Run the buckle strap through the bit ring, then thread the pointed end through the buckle frame and back through the keeper until the strap lies flat. Do this on both sides so the reins hang level, then check the fit with the horse standing square before you ride.

How do I clean braided poly horse reins?

Wash them in cold water with mild soap, work the suds through the braid by hand, then rinse thoroughly and hang to dry out of direct sun. Do not machine wash or put poly reins in a dryer, because heat can distort the braid. Wiping the conway buckles dry after washing keeps the plating looking clean.

What length are these contest reins and will they fit my horse?

These measure 1 inch wide and 9 ft long, a common contest length that gives plenty of slack for a two-handed release around a barrel without leaving excess loop to catch a hand. Rein length is mostly a rider preference, so if you like a shorter feel, check the product details for the exact measurement before ordering.
