Wonderful reins
These are perfect reins for me and Junior. So soft, but I have no problem with grip even when we are galloping and sweaty! The small diameter works well with my tiny hands. The length is perfect for my compact Junior Mint, but may be too short for a normal TB or warmblood. So pleased I ordered them.

UPDATE to my previous review
I've been using the reins for roughly 8 months now. They show no signs of wear and they are used on average 4-5 times a week. This has been through both warm and cold temps. Never had issues with slipping reins - even with gloves. I came to SmartPak wanting to buy a second pair, but saw they only come in buckle end. My other bridle has stud ends.
Buy them. You won't be disappointed!

Great quality and grip
These reins are soft and comfortable to hold. I have arthritic fingers, so this is a great plus. They don't slip, even when my horse gets sweaty, and the incorporated rein stops provide just enough purchase to keep my fingers from slipping and letting the reins get too long. They aren't too thick and that makes them much superior to any rubber reins that I have tried in the past. An added bonus is that they wear like iron. This is my third pair (one for each bridle!). I have other Red Barn tack, and it is all excellent quality for the price and wears exceptionally well.

I love these reins!
Have these reins on all of my personal bridles, even my double! One of my pairs is atleast 5 years old. Easy to clean and have a supple feel in your hands. Even though they look smooth, the calf skin grips well to gloves and the stoppers are a great size. I recommend them to all of my clients!

Nice reins
These reins are quite nice! They are soft and supple out of the package. Quality leather. I haven't used them long enough to comment on durability. They don't seem slippery, though the stops aren't as pronounced as other reins (Stubben, Bobby's).
