Where can I find good rope reins?

[Gill]

I borrowed some lovely soft rope reins at the weekend and would love to find some. These had leather buckles to the bit and felt nice and heavy in the hand. But I can't find anything like them and they nearly all have clips to fasten to the bit. Those ones came from Australia.

Can anyone help? Thank you

I've been looking for rope reins for a while, and have found a pair I like - just need to wait for some spare cash to come my way! But I haven't seen any with leather buckles - just the kind with clips. I found them on eBay.

I've had a little look and I've come across these on google - is this the sort of thing you mean?

They're from this website.

Try Goodwood's saddlery in Camperdown, Sydney. I've used them myself for a few things. Their Winter 2008 catalogue is on this site

If you search on 'cotton reins' and select 'all words', you'll find a selection at different prices.
