Weaver Leather Stacy Westfall Knotted Latigo Lined Split Reins - 5/8" x 8'

Experience the Perfect Release with Stran T. Smith Signature Reins

When you're working a young horse or refining a finished performer, communication is everything. The Weaver STS Ranch Signature Knot Split Reins, designed by World Champion Stran T. Smith, are engineered to give you that instant, clear "weighted release" that horses understand. Crafted from premium burgundy latigo leather, these reins offer the perfect drape and feel right from the first ride, ensuring your cues are never lost in translation.

We know there's nothing more frustrating than stiff, bouncy reins that confuse your horse. That’s why Weaver hand-rubs these with saddle butter, ensuring they arrive supple and ready for the ranch. Cut side-by-side from the same hide, these reins are perfectly matched in weight and thickness, providing a balanced feel in your hands that you just can't get with mass-produced gear. From the training pen to the open trail, these are built for the long haul.

Why These Reins Belong in Your Tack Room

• Instant Communication provided by the weighted pineapple knot ends, which ensure the reins drop and drape the second you give slack for a clear reward.
• Superior Feel and Grip thanks to the 5/8" width, offering a substantial hold that fits comfortably in the hand without the bulk of wider reins.
• Professional Durability from the hand-rubbed burgundy latigo leather, built to withstand the elements and the rigors of daily ranch work.
• Matched Performance because each pair is cut side-by-side from the same hide, ensuring consistent weight and thickness for a perfectly balanced feel.
• Versatile Training Length with an 8-foot span that allows plenty of slack for green horses to find their balance or for use as a lead rope in a pinch.

The Perfect Fit

Professional trainers and ranch riders looking for premium, weighted communication and a broken-in feel for training, reining, or ranch versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the benefit of the pineapple knots on the bit ends?

The traditional pineapple knots on the Weaver STS Ranch Signature Reins add specific weight to the bit end. This creates a "weighted release," where the reins immediately drop and drape the moment you give slack, providing instant, clear communication to your horse.

Q: Do these reins require a long break-in period?

Not at all. These reins are crafted from burgundy latigo leather that has been hand-rubbed with saddle butter, making them feel soft, supple, and "broken-in" right out of the box.

Q: Why is it important that they are cut side-by-side?

By cutting the reins side-by-side from the same hide, Weaver ensures that both reins have the exact same weight, stretch, and thickness. This prevents one rein from feeling heavier or longer than the other, which is crucial for balanced training.
