Split Reins
Double reins on a snaffle??
I just bought a Stubben saddle set that came with double reins attached to a snaffle bit. Why would they sell it like this, am I missing something?
Also, do you guy know what a "split brow" bridle is? Thanks.

That's the best pic, you can see the double reins there though.
I think Kevin has confused western split reins (one rein to each side of the bit without them being connected together) with english double reins (two complete sets of reins).
I'm not the one who gave him a thumbs down!
I think you just got a strange package which could be used as a double bridle, but they threw a snaffle in instead.
I'm not sure about a "split brow" bridle, but I have a Stubben bridle with what I would think of as a split crown bridle, if anything. Its crown piece is not one piece with the splits at the end for the cheek pieces and throat latch, like normal. The throat latch is it's own piece of leather, which goes all the way around on it's own, through one loop of the brow band, then the cheek pieces connect between the ears and go through another loop on the browband (right next to the throat latch loop, keeping the same distance as a normal bridle). This can be a nice look because you end up without any buckles on the cheek pieces by the horse's face (or just one on one side). Actually I have two bridles like this and one connects the cheek pieces together between the ears, and one has one long cheek piece and one short one and they connect on the left side (that's the Stubben).
