I was just about to apply for a presidential modification from USEF to use loop reins because my grip is so bad from a crushing dog bite to my left hand plus arthritis slowly creeping into both. I bought these reins along with the Coppertech Pro Silicone grip Compression Glove--what a difference! Not only am I happy, but my horse is super happy my connection is indeed correct. Loop reins may still be in my future, but this combination of reins and gloves is perfect for now!

Really impressed so far, I have arthritis in both hands and struggle to maintain grip. Joints become very painful. These reins are massively helping with both so far. Perfect thickness and firmness.

Ich habe so vieleZügel ausprobiert und irgendwie waren mir alle ungemütlich in der Hand.
Ich habe dann den heather comfort trotz des hohen Preises gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig aber dann perfekt für meine Hände. Das Pferd ist auch zufrieden.

By far my favorite now. Has helped my connection and keeps the rein from slipping !

My hands are severely damaged by RA, and I can’t even make a fist with either hand. So riding is tricky. But with these Heather reins, , my hands feel like normal hands as far as control. And I haven’t even worn the gloves yet. It’s been too hot here for gloves, but I haven’t felt the need for them. I’m sure I will use them every time as soon as the weather cools. I could not be happier than I am with this set of reins.
