Fennells and Freedmans both make a really nice set of thin reins that are laced, and I think they have some rubber lined ones.
Webbed rubber reins really do reign supreme in my book (pun intended). I know some people don’t care for the appearance of them tho, but nothing beats them for horses who get heavy or snatch at reins.
I am going to buy some! They have been on my shopping list. Also the thin line reins are amazing, soft and grippy. I find some of the Nunn Finer reins give too much of a stretchy feel, but I know many people swear by them.
I am going to add that Equusport makes some amazingly good reins.
Chronicle Forums made me buy it Bought and used the PS of S softy, soft reins today for the first time. Love these reins!
Black Diamond sells lovely laced hunter reins with rubber “hidden” on the inside - Affordable and really nice
