A tip from reader Vanessa today.
Vanessa doesn’t struggle with trying to get rubber rein stops on instead she uses ‘pop on’ leather stoppers just like these.

Bonus marks to anyone who can find a UK stockist as I think I will be buying a pair!

I absolutely love these! I have a few pairs of the blue and white crystal ones and the matching keytags and boot pulls. Can’t say enough about how funcional and beautiful they are!
