The 6.5-foot length (approximately, Martin Saddlery specifies 6 ft 10 in) is commonly favored by barrel racers. This length helps provide quicker engagement and reduces excess slack, which is a significant advantage in speed events where immediate response is critical. It's particularly ideal for smaller horses or riders who prefer a more collected feel and direct communication with their horse.How does this rein ensure comfort and a non-slip grip?The combination of supple Latigo leather and the intricate 5-plait knotted construction is key to both comfort and non-slip performance.
