Free rein or free reign?

I had to type this as part of my work yesterday, now I typed free rein, my reasoning was kind of give a horse a free rein and it will do what it wants, but I've seen it today on a post and they said free reign.

Which one is it?

Free rein. It's a riding metaphor, not a regal one.
