In Western Riding are two styles of reins known:
- closed reins
-split reins or open reins
Split reins are used, if frequent dismounting is required. Their disadvantage is that they can accidently fall down. Usually they are longer than closed reins and kept crossed over the neck /wither area of the neck to prevent them from falling down.

How much does a horse reign set cost?
It depends on what kind (the correct spelling is rein instead of reign) There are many types. There is a braided split reins, reins with rawhide braid, bitless bridle reins, a horse nylon headstall reins, rubber lined reins, camelot web reins, a barrel reins with rubber grip etc. etc.
Do you have more control with split reins?
It depends on the discipline. If your horse is trained to neck rein, split rein will give you more freedom to move your hands and give aids. There is always the danger of dropped reins, however. In english, the difference is minimal
What piece of equiment has the sole purpose of keeping the reins from going over the horses head?
There isn't one. If you ride with split reins you can tie a simple knot. Both types of martingales (standing and running) will stop the reins from going over the horse's head but their purpose is training. These are 'head setting' devices. I thought of 'draw reins' and 'side reins' but these also are training equipment. There are 'stoppers' made of rubber or leather but these are used to keep the bit and reins where they belong. Unless someone have invented something new in the last 5 minutes there is nothing that has the 'sole' purpose of keeping reins in your hands.
