How to use: Simply attach the buckle bit ends to your horse's bit. Hold the single - ply hand - hold area for a comfortable grip when riding. Notice: Avoid over - pulling the reins as it may cause stress on the horse's mouth. Make sure the buckle is properly fastened to prevent it from coming loose. Maintenance: Wipe the reins with a damp cloth regularly to keep them clean. You can also apply a leather conditioner occasionally to keep the leather soft and supple.
