Like most things I'm sure they work for some people/horses although not everyone. I haven't tried them personally but I did buy some flexi rein type things from e-bay and they worked for me.
The difference is that these clip onto your existing reins.

have looked at those but they dont seem to have as much elastic in as the carl hester ones? - what do you think are they 'elastic' enough?

I've not tried Carl's reins so I can't compare them, all I can say is that the ones's I have worked for me. I'm sure Carl's will be good although elastic doesn't work for everyone whatever the make.
