Use gloves?
Riding gloves protect the hands - whether when riding, leading, lunging, transporting, minting or other stable work. They are irreplaceable for this sport because they protect against nasty abrasions, burns or other injuries. The horse is frightened, a short strong jerk on the rope is created and the hand is nibbled - who knows it? For many riders, sports and horse handling are unimaginable without riding gloves. However, opinions are also divided here. Many riders are of the opinion that riding gloves do not make such a sensitive riding hand possible. The manufacturers have counteracted this statement and developed models with which fine reins aids can be given.
