These Weaver Equine split reins are hand‑dressed, extra‑heavy harness leather reins in a golden chestnut finish with weighted, water‑tie ends for a secure, balanced feel.

Built for riders who want a durable, traditional rein that performs in everyday handling and shows, this pair combines dense harness leather with hand finishing to deliver a supple touch and long service life. The leather receives oil and butter treatment and a final hand rub to deepen color and soften the surface, producing a rich appearance and reliable grip. The 5/8" width and weighted ends make them suitable for many English and Western bridles where split reins are preferred.
