Hi all,

I moved from SoCal to hot humid Florida last year, and I've finally 
succumbed to the reality that I can't keep riding with my plain 
beta-biothane reins in this humidity.  My reins become so slick with 
sweat that they keep running through my hands, which is no fun when 
Shahtahr is in the mood to go, and I am not.  :)

I thought I'd just look for plain old rope reins with slobber straps on 
the ends for safety, but when I looked on some of my favorite on-line 
endurance tack stores I realized there are quite a few other options out 
there.

Any recommendations on reins that won't get slippery?   I see some that 
have rubber grips, beta grips, plain rope, etc.   What's best?  Seems 
like the beta grips might still get slippery, even with the little 
bumps.... ?

I don't like really fat reins, but some with a little more thickness 
than my current thin beta reins might be easier on my hands.

Thanks for any ideas!

Jennifer and Shahtahr (who are finally doing their first SE ride in 
November!  It's a CTR though...but at least it's a RIDE!)
