Great for smaller horse
I have a very cob sized tb. This barely fits him on the last whole. Would not fit a bigger horse. But it does what I want and is pretty nice. Mediocre leather, but it’s side reins, so who cares.

Very bad quality
I've had two pairs snap in just a couple uses. They were used by horses perfectly accustomed to side reins.
A client purchased one pair and one broke and I thought it was just a fluke so I ordered another pair and already broke one.

They were ok
I did like them. But I don’t like how the clips are sized. They don’t fit my bit, one does, one doesn’t.

Nice Side Reins, Not the Best Leather
I've had these side reins for about 8 months now and they've been used several times a week. I love the color combo of brown leather and navy tack. The side reins have held up great, they clean up well and look new except for the leather. The leather is sadly on the cheaper side and has cracking across the surface in areas. They were the first pair of side reins out of half a dozen brands I tried to fit my gigantic 17h TB which was a pleasant surprise! Overall i would buy again but only if on sale!

Too short
Even on the longest setting, these are too short for my thoroughbred. Otherwise seem to be decent quality.

Small holes but great product
Perfectly functional and no complaints other than that the buckle was hard to get through the holes (punched just a little on the small side) the first time. If you have a leather punch, a little prep beforehand will probably make it easier, but it wasn't difficult by any means. Leather feels a little on the cheap side, but looks great and is nice and supple. One keeper is a little loose.

Works well, but leather isant great
I bought these because I’ve purchased many leather products from Smartpak before that have been of excellent quality. A bridle and a few girths. I thought this would be ni different but I am disappointed. The leather, which has a tag made in India, is very stiff. Needs oil. When I went to punch holes in it, the top layer flaked off s bit.
The reins though will get the job done. The elastic is tight, and the blue color is nice.

Great quality, a little large for quarter horses
Loved the quality of these side reins. I wishe they had clips on both ends to make them a little easier to change out, but that's an easy fix on my end. They were much too long for our quarter horses, all of them, so we had to punch more holes.

Good quality.
I am riding a 15 h QH who is not very large. Long, thick leather/elastic side reins just overwhelm her. These are perfect. The leather and elastic are nice quality. I have plenty of length to spare for other horses as well.

Worked Well
These were better than I expected for the reasonable price.
