One of my habits at the lower levels is to let my horse graze around the horsebox between phases, sometimes with a bit in because I don’t have time to take bridle off and put it back on again.
The reins were always a problem (I am paranoid about horses treading on them) but the other day I realised that I could safely velcro them out of the way with the loop on the front of my sheepskin half-pad (the loop which I only ever tuck in between the flaps of the saddle).
This works perfectly… happy horse stuffing its face for 5 minutes, happy me getting myself ready without worrying about the reins, or having to fiddle around take them off to keep them safely out of the way!
Great idea, I usually put mine rolled in the throat lash.
