Sad sad...my reins

ponypotion · 03-31-2008, 07:09 PM

I JUST got a brand new pair of Arc De Triomphe reins and my horse stepped on them and Popped them!!!!!!
what should I do? Do you think i should scrap them and buy new ones or find someone to fix them? And even if they are fixed do you think it would be safe enough???
thanks

Where are they broken? Is it the buckle at the end that connects the two reins together or where it connects to the bit?

no it's right before the lacing starts

That depends....a leather repair shop should be able to put a splice on the back side, but if you are one of those people that realistically are concerned about someone noticing it then you won't be happy with it.

I personally would do it for as little as it will cost, but it would be up to you.
