I wear gloves every time I get on a horse, and have
for as long as I can remember. I hate spending a ton of money on them though. I
have found some of those mechanics gloves you can find at Home Depot etc. are
excellent riding gloves, and can be tried on first, and easily purchased. Many
are around $10 a pair, with some up to $20. For summer, I try to find
those that have the thinner backs, and not the neoprene type fabrics.

protect my hands with gloves)
