In 2024, the FEI and British Dressage updated their regulations for Alice Reins due to Health and Safety considerations. The key updates are as follows:
- A maximum of four loops per rein, with each loop strap measuring no more than 30cm in length (measured inside the loops).
- Loops may be attached to the rein using a fixed attachment or via a clip-on loop that allows for adjustments.
- Each rein may have up to eight attachments or a maximum of six fixed finger loops stitched to the rein. Each loop must measure no more than 10cm in length.
RDA will adopt these regulations for the 2025 Regional Qualifiers, National Championships, and beyond. While RDA no longer recommends the old-style loop reins, groups may continue using them for the next six months to allow time for replacements where needed. Click here to purchase the new Alice Reins
