Hi Nancy, >>I like the surcingles that have a series of rings, giving you a choice of where to run the reins.
I generally prefer surcingles as well and we have different places where there are rings, I also attach another ring to the surcingle ring, with a double ended snap, so that the lines don't act as a pulley when you turn. It gives a bit extension to the ring which is what a stirrup (secured and short enough) allows as well. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com
