Re: FW: [RC] round reins / not rope - scswag

I love wearing half-finger gloves. I protect my knuckles and palms but have the dexterity and feeling of my fingertips. Also, I have arthritis in my hands and it helps keep them warm so they don't hurt as much.

The problem with gloves is you can't feel anything nice with your hands,
such as in particular your horse's coat. It's the sensual input that is
really the main reason for riding, no? And the palms of your hands and
fronts of your fingers are the part of your skin that is most tactilely
informative. Wind in the face is nice, too.
