These 16-plait reins and romal are both crafted from natural Red Angus cowhide over rolled leather cores. The reins are decorated with a combination of herringbone and gaucho style buttons, while the romal, which Wald calls “Dorrance style” — after the famous Dorrance brothers of Oregon and California who Wald believes originated this romal type — is an actual quirt that fastens to the reins with an extra long connector.
