Instructor suggested a double for H a few weeks ago and I have been borrowing a friends. We are both much happier in it, but I really struggle with the reins. Bridle has 2 sets of very narrow leather reins (1/4" ish) on and I find them really hard to keep hold of and my hands were aching by the end of my lesson. I tried switching one rein to my rubber reins from other bridle, but it didn't help, though maybe it was the combination of chunky rubber and very narrow? I am not blessed with long slender fingers and often find rubber reins too chunky.
So what reins do you use on your doubles? I wondered about wider leather as when I hack the naughty one in draw reins which are a bit thicker they are fine, but this is with rubber normal reins.
Also I guess I will have to bite the bullet and buy a double, but being awkward again my tack is Brown. Any suggestions? Don't have a massive budget £100 ish. She has a fairly fine head, but chunky neck
Any excuse so here is a head shot for inspiration, though her neck is more rhino like now! Many thanks
