There's a moment in every ride where it stops being about the bit, or the bridle, and becomes about what's actually happening in your hands. If you've been moving toward a softer, more bitless way of riding, it's worth asking whether your reins have actually caught up with you.
Traditional Reins Weren't Built For This
Most reins are still designed around one assumption: a bit at the other end, one continuous loop, leather that needs oiling to stay supple. None of that really holds up once you start riding bitless. A fixed loop snags exactly where you don't want it to, and leather built for a bit doesn't always sit right on a bitless bridle or a rope halter's rings.
Meet The BioThane & Rope Split Reins
So we built something that actually fits the job. Our BioThane & Rope Split Reins bring the same hybrid feel as our best-selling Liberty Neck Rope to everyday riding, a soft 10mm PPM rope rein finished with hard-wearing BioThane at each end. Two separate reins, not one fixed loop, so there's nothing to catch or drag, just swivel eye clips in chrome or gold that fasten cleanly to a bit or a bitless bridle. Gentle, clear communication, whichever way you ride.
Don't have a bitless bridle yet? Our All Weather Rope Halter now comes with optional Side Pull Rings in matching chrome or gold, turning it into a bitless bridle in seconds while staying just as silent and metal-free for groundwork. Pair the two together and you've got a completely connected setup, start to finish.
Only The Best. 100% Genuine Materials.
Waterproof, stink-proof and wipe-clean, they shrug off mud, sweat and actual British weather without cracking or holding onto a smell. Every set is handcrafted here in the UK from the real thing, genuine BioThane and proper PPM rope, not a cheaper stand-in to save a few pounds, so what's in your hands is actually built to last.
A softer connection starts with the right kit in your hands.
Endless Colour, Zero Compromise
Choose your BioThane colour, your rope colour and your clip finish, and build a set that's unmistakably yours, one that matches your Liberty Neck Rope if you've already got one. 21+ BioThane colours and 17+ rope colours add up to over 300 ways to make it yours, without giving up an inch of durability to get there.
The right connection was never really about the bit. It was always about what's in your hands.
