[RC] round reins / not rope - sherman

Title: Message
I always wear gloves when working with or riding my horses.   For some reason, maybe somethig in the soil where I am, I develop cracks on my thumbs near the corner of the fingernails, sometimes on other fingers as well. Wearing gloves helps keep the cracks from opening too far and becoming incredibly painful 24/7.  Wearing gloves also keeps my fingernails from snapping off or bending back when my hand inadvertently hits the pommel as well as saving me from rope burns more than a few times. I save my SSGs for riding and use oter type of synthetic garden or leather work gloves for other duties. The SSG All Weather Gloves are incredibly lightweight and don't cause any heat build-up or other type of weather-related discomfort. What I feel most when I don't wear gloves on a regular basis is pain.
