FEATURED SPECIAL: WESTERN ROMEL REINS
NATURAL RIDER DECORATIVE ROMEL ROPE REINS WITH LEATHER AND KNOTWORK DETAILING
These reins continue to gain popularity in western circles as riders head back to more traditional methods of horsemanship.
Romel Reins are a continuous rope rein with the addition of a long tailpiece that can be used for several purposes including for more refined communication between horse and rider. This is due to the placement of the rein in relation to the hands which is known to improve straightness for the rider for improved posturing through encouraging the hands to be more forward. This style of rein has also historically been used for neck reining, in addition to the shoo fly/giddy-up rope being used to encourage a more even gait and more balanced lope from the rhythmic movement swinging onto the horses wither and flanks, to name just a few reasons to use a Romel Rein.
This style of rein was made famous by vaquero cowboys when mustering and riding for long periods due to its relaxed and comfortable features and also showed off their refined communication skills with their horses due to what looks like decorative knots but each one acts as extra cue to the neck of the horse for more in-depth level of communication, along with the minimal movement of the rider's hand to create more precise, lighter signals to the horse.
As the knots have another purpose too, which is to add weight and balance to the reins. Our Romel reins are all made with decorative knots braided onto the first 45cm of each rein and can come with a choice of 1, 2 or 3 knots per side, made to the rider's personal custom preferences. The knots also help to keep the body of the rein off the horse's neck to protect the rein from sweat. They put a little extra pressure on the side of the neck as the rein lays against it when cueing for a turn with the rein, where the horse can feel the knots lightly resting on his neck and responds better to them than with plain reins.
Our Natural Rider Romel Reins are made from our best quality mediumweight purpose-made horsemanship rope that is soft to handle for horse and hands as well as being hardwearing to provide many years of service.
These reins can be custom made to your lengths, snap hardware and colour preferences, including both leather and knotwork detailing as shown below.

SALES TERMS: When buying from us you agree to do so under these terms:
1-DELIVERY: We are a horse rescue centre where our volunteers split their time between helping horses & running our shop + we hand make all of our rope tack items right here in our New Zealand workshop too. Therefore, we are always very busy and ask for all customers to please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery of all items due to this, though we endeavour to try to send goods out faster whenever possible-thankyou. For Dr Cook Bitless Bridles please allow up to 4 weeks to receive or for Edix Saddles up to 8 weeks or 12 weeks for custom made orders -more so since Covid has caused further delays.
2-PAYMENTS: In order to keep prices down we only take payment by bank credit as this avoids buyers having to pay third-party fees. Payment is due upfront before any goods are made or shipped. On the rare occasion when goods are sent prior to payment, upon receipt of all goods payment is due. Items remain the property of Natural Horse NZ until full payment is received.
3-REFUNDS/EXCHANGES; in the event of the rare occasion where a customer has received damaged or faulty goods we will pay for their return and cover replacement. We require that we are informed straight away by email or messenger about this and that the goods are returned to us within 7 days using a tracked and insured postage service. Please be aware that we will not be liable for returned goods being lost or damaged whilst in return transit to us. We don't offer refunds on goods for a change of mind or on any of our rope tack items, which are all custom made for each individual customer to their requested sizes and colours.
4-SHIPPING + DELIVERY: We require a POSTALLY CORRECT physical address with a street number + RURAL DELIVERY NUMBER for all deliveries-if in doubt about your address please check the address finder link: https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/address-postcode-finder. Please be aware that if you have a rural address and no Rural Delivery Number is given that the couriers will not insure items sent with postally incorrect addresses so if the goods are lost or damaged in transit then Natural Horse NZ will not be liable for replacement as you have these goods sent to you at your own risk. Natural Horse NZ will not be responsible for any loss or damage to goods when postally incorrect addresses are provided. We use Courier Post as our Shipping Agents throughout New Zealand and send out all goods for the lowest possible shipping costs. We will happily combine multiple items in order to keep courier costs to a minimum. Our couriers charge us a rural delivery surcharge which we charge to customers at cost, so it is always cheaper to send goods to a residential address and we actively encourage this if at all possible to save on shipping fees and reduce shipping times so if you are rural please consider sending to a work address or perhaps a friends residence or local farmlands store etc.....
5-PHOTO'S-the photographs shown on our saddlery items are the property of Natural Horse NZ and are used for display purposes to show which goods we have for sale. As most of our items are individually handcrafted please be aware that they may not be identical to the exact images shown.
