Hubby suggested I stuff the fingers of my gloves with tissues. His sympathy was underwhelming!

I have the latex gloves available here. I could give that a try. Thanks!Get a pair of gloves that fit well, are warm, and not overly thick. Then buy a box of medical exam type gloves that are too big for your hands. After putting on your warm gloves pull on a pair of medical gloves over top. Put a couple extras in your pockets in case you rip a glove. Your warm gloves will stay dry and warm, and the medical gloves are grippy.
Thanks. This makes sense! I will see what I can find.Go look into some hunting gloves. These type of gloves fit snug and are typically water/weather proof and very warm. They won't be traditional "work" gloves but if all you are using them for is feeding and watering they'll last forever.
I agree. I think the gloves I’ve been using are men’s. I should rifle through my other gloves - I usually have one pair of those knit gloves in a pocket of each of my winter coats. Just in case I forget my regular gloves.This is one of my perennial pet peeves. They simply don't make quality work gloves for a woman's hand. And even women's dress gloves are totally malproportioned, unless a woman happens to have super long fingers, or grows her talons, er... nails super long.
Even if you can find a Woman's 100% leather glove, the workmanship, and overall quality pales in comparison to Men's gloves. So, I buy the smallest Men's gloves I can find, and put a pair of the cheap one size fit's most knit gloves under them. Some gloves have the ball and tab slider so you can snug it up around your wrist. Those are handy if you're not doing a chore which might make it dangerous to have the glove "locked on".
I was thinking a small pair of mechanics gloves under my work gloves. But, wanted to see what suggestions others had.Check your local general store. I found a nice pair of waterproof gloves there that keep my hands nice and warm. Riding gloves might be a thing to look into too, they are thin and warm.
Good luck! Let is know how it goes. It's not as good for snow shoveling cuz they rip but it's easy enough to put on a new pair.I have the latex gloves available here. I could give that a try. Thanks!

I have very small hands too..I have a pair of Deer Hide gloves with a warm liner and they are washable too..They fit me like a glove....![]()
Lol....Your comment about string had me crack up...I had string on mine for one day till Bindi when a pup grabbed my glove that was dangling and look off with the glove and me..My coat bunched all up until the string finally broke..I have a "thing" for gloves because my hands are super tiny. Hubby has the exact opposite problem because his hands are XXL, wide and fat, so we are forever stopping and looking at different gloves. Unfortunately, I grab whichever pair I can find when I head outside. I think I need a pair on a string!
This is my favorite fitting pair, and best for non-water stuff, (excellent grip, wear, protection, comfort, etc) but not the best for water, and probably not the warmest. Mechanix. But the idea of covering them with rubber gloves is excellent. I'm gonna try it!!
