Berlin Leather Split Reins

The water loop attachment is a traditional design that allows the reins to be easily removed or swapped between bits without needing tools. It also provides a slightly more flexible connection at the bit, which many riders prefer for better feel and communication.

These reins have a substantial, weighted feel that provides excellent stability and grip. Because they are made from Hermann Oak harness leather and hand-rubbed, they offer a smooth, broken-in texture right out of the box that won't feel stiff or slippery.

These are built as work-ready, durable tools. The heavy-duty construction is designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily training and trail riding, maintaining their integrity even with consistent, long-term use.

Yes, 8 feet is a standard length for Western split reins, offering enough slack for neck reining while remaining manageable. This length is versatile enough for most riders and horses, whether you are working in an arena or out on the trail.

While the leather comes with a high-quality hand-rubbed finish, it is always a good practice to apply a light coat of leather conditioner before your first ride. This helps protect the harness leather from sweat and moisture, ensuring the material stays supple over time.
