"These reins look really nice, are a great price, and soften up really nicely. But, they are really hard to grip. I've gotten blisters/sore spots on my hands, even with gloves on, because these reins are so slippery. I'll have to go back to the woven rubber ones, unfortunately. I'm bummed because I love the look of these, they're just impossible to manage."

"I rode a horse that fought the bit around the entire ring and braced consistently, I made the mistake of riding him without gloves on and came back from the arena with bloody, blistered hands. It cut right through my hands and all I was doing on the reins was keeping a steady contact. Now I have to ride in gloves (which I HATE doing) whenever I ride that horse because of the reins."

"I was looking for notched leather reins that were reasonably priced. These reins fit the bill and I am very happy with them."
