Abstract
A braided romal rein having a bit end that is directly attachable to a bit, without the need for a separate connecting piece, provides direct contact between the bit in the animal's mouth and the rider's hands. The bit end of the rein comprises a rigid member that is integral with the rein and which has a connector portion that can be tightly connected to the end ring of the bit. Because the entire length of the rein, including the portion that connects to the bit, is a continuous construction, the former problems of loose joints at the rein end and the bit end are eliminated.
