The designers at Bucas have created a new Shock-Stop lead rein that is designed to be used on horses that are a bit exuberant or on youngsters that have yet to respect the confines of being led.

A totally humane lead rein, it is cushioned and has a heavy-duty elasticated shock absorber built in that allows for movement, but not so much that it interferes with the handler’s control. If a horse pulls away quickly and unexpectedly, the elastic shock absorbing panel takes the impact of the sudden reaction and protects the handler’s hands, arms, and shoulders from being wrenched. It also trains the horse sympathetically not to pull away as it meets with a sudden stop when the end of the rope is reached.

The two metre long nylon webbing rein has an easy release catch mechanism and a loop at the other end for extra security.
