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.
