Using this rein is straightforward. Just attach the buckle bit ends to your horse's bit. When holding the rein, grip the single - ply hand - hold area for maximum comfort. For maintenance, keep it clean and dry. After each use, wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or moisture, as this could damage the leather. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild leather cleaner, but always test it on a small, hidden area first. With proper care, this rein will serve you well for a long time.
