Everything about Rein

Straps used to direct a horse

Reins are used to direct a horse when riding or driving. They are attached to a bridle's bit or noseband and are made of leather, nylon, or other materials. Reins are used to give subtle commands or cues—also known as rein aids—to ask for a turn, a slower speed, a halt, or to go backwards. Wikipedia →
