How much grip do you actually need?

Do you ride mostly in the wet?

Wet reins get slippery, and that is where the silicone styles earn their keep. The Rhinegold Silicone Grip Horse Riding Gloves (from £11.69) and the Rhinegold Elite Spandex Horse Riding Gloves Silicone Palm (from £13.31) both put a silicone palm between you and the rein, so you can hold a lighter, steadier contact instead of gripping harder.

Do you prefer a softer, more natural feel?

If you like feeling every movement through the rein, the Rhinegold Elite Nubuck Suede Stretch Horse Riding Gloves (from £15.82) give a softer surface with a stretch back, and the Rhinegold Cotton Pimple Horse Riding Gloves (from £5.21) keep things simple and light with a pimple-textured palm.

What changes when the weather turns?

Which glove keeps hands warmest?

The Rhinegold Thinsulate Knit Cuff Winter Horse Riding Gloves (from £12.58) pair Thinsulate lining with a knit cuff that stops draughts running up your sleeve. The Rhinegold Fleece Lined Horse Riding Gloves (from £10.06) are the budget-friendly warm option at Small to X-Large, and the Rhinegold Winter Cotton Pimple Horse Riding Gloves (from £15.82) give you the familiar pimple palm in a winter-weight build.

What about riding in the dark?

Short winter days mean more hacking in poor light. The Rhinegold Reflective Winter Horse Riding Gloves (from £15.82) add reflective detail on your most visible signalling point, your hands, which is exactly where drivers need to see movement. Currently in stock in Large, black.

Sizing: how should riding gloves fit?

A riding glove should feel snug like a second skin with no loose fingertip material, because spare fabric bunches under the rein and dulls your feel. If you are between sizes and want to wear a liner in winter, size up; if you want maximum feel for competition, stay true to size. Across this collection sizes run from X-Small to X-Large depending on the style, so check the size list in the table above before you order. Not sure? Get in touch and our team will help you pick.

Frequently asked questions

Which Rhinegold gloves are best for winter riding?

For the coldest days, the Rhinegold Thinsulate Knit Cuff Winter Horse Riding Gloves (from £12.58) combine Thinsulate lining with a knit cuff. The Rhinegold Fleece Lined Horse Riding Gloves (from £10.06) are a cheaper warm option in Small to X-Large, and the Rhinegold Winter Cotton Pimple Horse Riding Gloves (from £15.82) give you a winter version of the classic pimple palm. If you hack on roads in the dark, add the Rhinegold Reflective Winter Horse Riding Gloves (from £15.82).

What size Rhinegold riding gloves should I order?

Aim for a snug fit with no spare material at the fingertips, since loose fabric bunches under the rein and reduces feel. Sizes here run X-Small to X-Large depending on the style. Size up if you plan to wear a thin liner underneath in winter, and stay true to size if you want the closest possible contact. If you are unsure, get in touch and our team will help.

What is the difference between cotton pimple and silicone grip gloves?

Pimple gloves such as the Rhinegold Cotton Pimple Horse Riding Gloves (from £5.21) use a textured cotton palm: light, breathable and easy on the hands for everyday schooling and yard jobs. Silicone styles such as the Rhinegold Silicone Grip Horse Riding Gloves (from £11.69) and the Rhinegold Elite Spandex Horse Riding Gloves Silicone Palm (from £13.31) use a silicone palm that holds a wet rein far better, so they suit British weather and stronger horses.

Which Rhinegold gloves suit competition days?

The Rhinegold Elite Stretch Competition Horse Riding Gloves (from £14.93, Small to X-Large) are the obvious pick for a smart, close-fitting look. If you want a softer surface, the Rhinegold Elite Nubuck Suede Stretch Horse Riding Gloves (from £15.82) are the alternative. Always check your discipline's own dress rules before the day, as glove colour requirements vary by association.
