Santa Ynez Reins

[bucksnort]

A couple of sets of 8 &12 Santa Ynez reins completed this week. I was surprised at the popularity. I made a set a while back that I posted here. I planned to keep them for myself. They sold before I could put them on a bridle & within a week I had orders for four more sets from people who had seen them. Guess that's the nature of the business ,feast or famine. Buck

Nice gear Buck. Good you have a market for them. Money is a good incentive to move on and refine your work.

Sorry this will seem like a stupid question by some but Why are those not called romal reins?

[bucksnort]

Thank you guys. Yeah, the money helps & the fact that they are going to someone else keeps me from getting complacent. I've always managed to sell everything, but not always for the price I'd like & a few times I've wholesaled stuff out to western stores. Axo44, they are indeed romal reins or romals, the Santa Ynez refers to the braid being split into two parts in the upper portion. If split to three they're Santa Margaritas & if four Santa Isabellas. Not sure if it's correct, but all three are commonly referred to as Santa Ynez type reins. Thanks Again, Buck
