ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to animal harnesses and particularly to animal reins. More particularly, the invention provides a dual configuration continuous precision rein system which incorporates an adjustable loop on each rein, thus providing a correct contact between the bit and the rider's hands. The rein can be easily converted to a flat strap configuration. In one preferred embodiment, the continuous rein comprises a continuous rein segment attachable at opposed ends to the bit of an animal, wherein the rein contains one or more adjustable loop straps which can be held by the rider to provide correct contact between the rider and the animal when desiring a collected gait from the animal. Alternatively, the rider also has the option of releasing or flattening the loops and holding the continuous rein segment in an extended position to permit the animal to stretch its head down and forward if desired.
