Weaver Leather ProTack Split Reins

Double-stuffing involves sewing two layers of leather together, which adds significant weight and thickness to the reins. This extra heft provides a more stable feel in your hands and helps the reins drape naturally, which improves the clarity of your cues to the horse.

While the double-stuffed design creates a substantial feel, the 0.625-inch width is a standard, manageable size for most riders. If you prefer a very thin or lightweight rein, these might feel a bit bulky, but the hand-rubbed edges help ensure they remain comfortable to grip.

The water loops are the leather attachments at the bit end of the reins that secure them to your bit. Using tie laces instead of metal hardware allows for a more flexible connection and makes it easy to replace the loops if they wear out over time without needing to replace the entire rein.

Because these reins are pre-oiled and finished with saddle butter, they are ready to use right out of the package. To maintain them, simply wipe off dirt after rides and occasionally apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out.

At 8 feet long, these split reins are the standard length for most Western riding disciplines, including trail riding. This length provides enough slack for the horse to move comfortably while still giving you plenty of rein to hold.
