Vaquero Buckaroo Buermann Style Bridle Bit Stainless Steel Rein Chains 11.5 inch

This listing is for a new pair of 11.5 inch long Stainless Steel Buermann Style Rein Chains with swivel ends. The Vaqueros added a length of chain to the end of their rawhide reins for additional balance and to help preserve the ends of the reins. The rein chains also help to maintain a light mouth in a bridle horse. The chains allow the Vaquero to use a very light touch on the reins and still get enough pressure change to cue his horse. Another often overlooked but very important advantage to having rein chains is to help preserve the rawhide reins. If the reins were attached directly to the bit you would not be able to let your horse drink without getting the rawhide wet. Rein chains protects the rawhide by helping it stay dry since only the chains and bit get wet. Rein chains are used with romal reins only, and not with split reins.
