Gong Bell reins

These were quite popular. They are hard to find as they rarely survive the playground trials. They are worn on one child, the horse, and a child skipping along behind with the leads in hand can pretend to be driving the horse. My daughter loved playing horse with these as I sat in a little red wagon directing her around the Morphy Antique Toy Show.

N. N. Hill also made many styles of these reins.
