Berlin Leather Split Reins

Hermann Oak is a premium American tannery known for producing leather with superior consistency, strength, and durability. It is widely considered the gold standard for western tack because it resists stretching and maintains its integrity over years of heavy use.

No. Because each pair undergoes a meticulous hand-rubbing process, these reins arrive with a smooth, broken-in feel. You won't need to spend time conditioning them to get that supple, comfortable grip.

The waterloop style allows for a more flexible, natural movement at the bit connection compared to rigid hardware. This design helps minimize interference, providing a clearer, more direct feel between your hands and the horse's mouth.

These are built for work. The extra-heavy construction is designed to withstand the rigors of daily training, though the classic aesthetic and high-quality finish make them polished enough for the show ring as well.

The 5/8-inch width is a standard, versatile size that fits comfortably in most riders' hands. It provides enough substance for a secure grip without feeling bulky or cumbersome during long rides.
