Re: [RC] re: rope reins / gloves - Janice TaylorWhen I switched from round reins to the flat ones with rubber, I was amazed at how less tired my hands got!? The flat ones just seem to fit against my fingers so much more naturally.? You can give it a try, who knows it might be a better choice.

I was just hoping to see if there were any alternative solution, as I prefer not wearing gloves, that's all.? I will, if I have to (I even wore my cotton non-riding gloves at Foxcatcher, since my fingers were still hurting (and that's all I have at the moment); it was hot, but my fingers weren't bothered at the ride, so it was worth it).? I've heard that the rubber covered reins are better.? If that's true, then they should make round rubber reins =P? lol.? That's kind of the idea I was going towards, lol.? I suppose if I get flat reins, I'll get used to them, just as I did the round reins... -- All the sounds dear to horseman were around me ~ the snorts of horses, the swish of their tails, the tinkle of irons as we flung the saddles over their backs ~ little sounds of no importance, but they stay with us in the unconscious library of memory.
