Re: [RC] scissor snaps - Mary Ann Spencer

What I was happy about is that the snaps opened and the reins did not create any more problems than I already had.  mas

I have seen some folks take a smallish rubber band, and wrap it around the
snap where they "scissor", then open the snap against the rubber band, and
clip it on the bridle. The rubber band seems to keep the snap from coming
open really easy, but you can still unsnap it if needed.

I found, just buying really good quality snaps helps to not have them open
or break to easy. This applies to ALL snaps. When I buy lead rope, I always
open and close the snap a few times, to look it over, to make sure it is a
good quality snap. Same with snaps for reins. You will find some really
cheap snaps out there that come open way to easy, or break under very little
pressure.
