Members megabit Posted March 28, 2011 Members Report Posted March 28, 2011 When I was getting ready to make my pair last year Nate (Wald) recomended I use a core even if it was a very small one. He felt you get a better feel on a set of reins with a core. He likes round leather belting and that is what I used. Quote
Members FlatHats Posted March 28, 2011 Author Members Report Posted March 28, 2011 Have never used the belting...Will have to try it....Done a small twist, and 4 strand braided cores I do agree that reins to need some life to them... I own quite a few sets, never have used any of mine long enough to really tell what kind of "life" they have....Have my favorites braided by buddies or my cousins that are on my "go to" bridles....
