I started FR Vincitore because I knew riding could be made safer. I had watched riders and horses become entangled in their reins and I couldn't accept that nothing was being done about it. So I did something about it myself.
Since then, every rein we have created has been built with the same purpose. To keep riders safe. To feel good in the hand. To give every person in the saddle a little more confidence, whatever level they ride at.
Today I am genuinely thrilled to introduce the newest member of the FR Vincitore family.
The Impression Thumb Reins are the best grip safety rein we have ever made. I say that with complete confidence, and I think once you try them, you will understand exactly why.
Why Grip Matters So Much
Every rider knows the feeling of reins slipping at the wrong moment. A spook, a strong canter, a wet afternoon, a horse who decides to take a strong hold on the way home. Your grip on the reins is your connection to your horse and when that connection feels uncertain, everything suffers.
We have always taken grip seriously at FR Vincitore. The bio-grip on our Original reins, the rubber stops on our Eventer reins, the rubber coating on the Libre. Every design decision we make is about giving riders confidence in their hands.
The Impression Thumb Reins take that further than we have ever gone before.
What Makes the Impression Thumb Reins Special
The Grip
The Impression Thumb Reins are designed specifically around the natural position of your thumbs when you ride. The specially shaped impression zones sit perfectly under your thumbs, giving you a secure and comfortable resting point that keeps your contact consistent from the moment you pick up the reins.
The result is a grip that feels completely natural. Riders who have tried them tell me they are the nicest rein they have ever held, and that once they rode in them they could not imagine going back. That feedback means everything to me.
The Safety
Every Impression Thumb Rein features the same patented quick-release connector that sits at the heart of everything we make. It has been extensively tested by the team at AMRC Cymru, part of the University of Sheffield, and it is approved for use at FEI, British Eventing and British Showjumping competitions.
The connector holds firm through everything normal riding throws at it. It only releases when extreme force is applied, such as in a fall or an entanglement. And it reassembles in seconds so you can get straight back on.
That is the FR Vincitore promise, and it applies to every single pair of Impression Thumb Reins we make.
The Feel
I wanted these reins to feel as good as they look. Ride after ride, session after session, the Impression Thumb Reins are comfortable in the hand. Long flat work sessions, jumping, hacking, competing. Your hands will thank you.
