RE: [RC] Rein recommendations needed - Kristen A Fisher

I used yacht reins which are pretty thick, but if you ride with gloves I can
heartily recommend these for no slippage:

They are carried in a lot of places so check around for best pricing.

Subject: [RC] Rein recommendations needed

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!)
