Horse Western Tack Brown Leather Purple Rawhide Rommel Romel Romal Reins 6687PR

✔ CONSTRUCTION: Romal reins are a classic element of Vaquero horsemanship, recognized for their intricate braided design and their application in many Western riding disciplines. These reins feature a closed-loop design with a distinctive braided extension called the romal, typically made from rawhide or leather, often ending with a quirt or popper. The added weight and decorative buttons on the romal enhance the rider’s communication with the horse by delivering clear, subtle cues. Detailed Overview: Braided Craftsmanship: Romal reins are usually hand-braided from rawhide or leather, providing durability, strength, and flexibility for long-term use. Romal Extension: This is the continuation of the closed rein, extending into a longer, weighted braided section designed for handling or cueing, and it often rests over the horse's neck. Weight and Button Placement: The strategic placement of weight and buttons on the romal helps create a distinct feel for the rider and allows for more precise, refined signals to the horse. Attached Quirt or Popper: Many romal reins are finished with a small quirt or popper at the end, which can be used to reinforce cues or assist in specific movements when needed. Traditional and Competitive Use: A hallmark of traditional Vaquero riding, romal reins are commonly seen in events like working cow horse, reining, ranch riding, and other Western performance disciplines. Balance of Precision and Fluidity: These reins offer riders excellent control while allowing for smooth, responsive communication, making them ideal for skilled horsemanship and advanced riding techniques.
