These reins are approved for USEF/USDF competition. They are not approved for USEF/USEA/FEI competition. 
The Comfort Connect Rein is our most comfortable rein with padding to support your grip! So easy to hold and easy to adjust with just a little "squish" and more surface area to hold onto for better comfort and a better connection! Pads are 3 inches (8cm) long and 1.5 inches (4cm) apart for easy adjustability. They are very popular with our riders with achy and weak hands!
