Rubber reins, recommendations for soft & supple please

[K9Wendy]

Any suggestions? I am looking for softer supple rubber reins, havana. Not sure if you know whatt I mean, I have a few pairs but looking for something softer and not bulky.

Any ideas?

Jefferies new ones, Bio grip or something, are fab. Very soft and grippy

Eventa grip reins are incredibly supple, think Jeffries do them.

what about getting the dressage reins - leather with rubber lining for grip so they're a lot less bulky. Derby house do some.

I got the Jeffries ones for christmas they are really soft- rode in them today and seem grippy but looking funny when on a loose rein as they wobble!

Think mine were made by olympian or something similar, pretty cheap have lasted ages and are not bulky, my hands are far too small for the bulky ones

Stubben do some lovely pairs of rubber reins

I love Stubben + Jeffries but they do seem to be stiffer (or more robust) than most, Mark Todd were better feel but mine only lasted about 3 years before the rubber perished and went 'sticky', have you though of the dressage style with rubber one side and leather the other? I've also got what are called 'event reins' much softer to the hand and very grippy, however they are not ver comfortable without gloves!!

Eventa reins!! all the way!! they a lovely. rubber grip ones are too big for my small hands. and they are sometimes too grippy and hurt a bit! Eventa's are £45 in the shops but i got a brand new pair from a shop on Ebay was so chuffed!

I've got the Jeffries Bio grip - can't recommend them enough! I don't use anything else now!

I second the Jeffries Bio-grip. They are fantastic

Bio grip are fabulous, eventa not as good but still better than ordinary rubber ones.
