How Many Reins Out Of A Side

Recommended Posts

Most sides have about 20 to 23 inches of useable width. depending on the quality of the leather, not all of it is always suitable for reins.

I usually only get six or maybe seven sets out of a side. I cut reins only out of the part that has the neck in it. I want the thickness of that neck leather to give the ends some weight. This is also the longest section and you can usually cut them eight feet long.

The belly would have to much stretch for water loops . I have pretty good success using it on headstalls for the ear pieces on one and 2 ear work headstalls I also have used it to line[ the side against the horses face] some show headstalls when I use veg tan for the outer surface. But anything that is going to be pulled on or have stress on it, it stretches too much.
