Ladder Reins...

Where can I get them from other than have them specifically made?

Thanks!

What are they :confused:
How do they differ from normal reins and what do they do (or allow the rider to do)?

Silvia: Thank you very much! The RDA group I've been helping out at uni told me they had to have theirs specifically made for them, so I wasn't sure if anywhere sold them.

Rhein: If you look at the links Silvia added you can see an example of ladder reins, they're used for riders who may have poorer motor controls on one side - e.g. many people who have suffered from strokes find it only effects on side of them - making it difficult to grip the reins with one hand. One of our riders for example only really has use of one hand - so he uses ladder reins and can neck rein easily using them.

8-legged-pony, thanks for enlightening me. I have never come across them before, they look like an excellent idea.
