Description: For your consideration is an amazing set of Romal Reins and matching hobbles. These were owned and used by Judy Wright, a well known horse show judge, trainer and contestant (among others, she showed horses for Evil Knievel). This hand-braided set of reins and hobbles are attributed to the well-known master, Luis Ortega! This is classic Ortega work, and if you look on P. 52 and 88 of the book, Luis Ortega's Rawhide Artistry, you can see examples of his work in dark kangaroo leather that very closely resembles these reins. Also, if you look on P. 84 of the same book, you will see a set of hobbles very similar to these. Furthermore, there is verbal history from Judy to our seller (who purchased these directly from her) stating they are Ortega's work. They would make a great addition to any Western Americana collector's inventory.
Maker: Attributed to LB Ortega - Luis Ortega.
Approx Age: Vintage.
Size: Reins measure about 8-1/2 feet long and the hobbles measure about 15 inches long.
Condition: Pretty good for their age. Some wear and minor imperfections expected as they were actually used in the show ring. Please look closely at the pictures as they are an important part of our description.
