"Confused"

I ordered the dark oil split reins before the beginning of the summer, they are AWESOME. Soft, supple, thick. I love them. With this in mind, I ordered the medium oil reins for my other horse because these match her tack. These reins are stiff, thin and feel like plastic. NOT A FAN. I am very disappointed. I'm not sure if the quality of all the reins declined in quality, if this was a bad batch, or if it's just the medium oil that are poor quality. Or if maybe I got sent the wrong reins to begin with, because the dark oil are totally plain but there are turquoise crosses on the medium oil... I don't know, but I'm going to have to order new reins because these are not going to fly.
