I only got the rains about three days ago and tried them out for the first time today in the 0° temperature temperature weather in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania. Basically I could hold onto them a lot better than regular rains. They are soft and since my fingers can’t properly close to hold anything they make it easier For me to grab something to hold. I like them very much and I’m sure the horse appreciates my not having to fiddle with trying to shorten rains every five steps because I’ve lost them.

I love them. I have a rare nerve disorder that sometimes affects my hands and my grasp. The reins have just enough thickness to be able to hold yet still have a feel of the horse's mouth. Even my trainer fell in love with them. I will certainly buy again.

Very comfortable especially if you have arthritic hands & have issues keeping a connection with your horse.

These reins are comfortable and easy to hold on to and don't slip through my hands like other reins.

Still trying to decide if these reins make it easier or harder. Harder while riding, easier on hands afterwards.

I have swollen knuckles which make it difficult to close my fingers around the reins but these really help and are so comfortable and no pain!
