Weaver Leather Stacy Westfall Pine Knot Split Reins - Premium Weighted Harness Leather Horse Reins

Experience the Perfect Balance of Communication and Comfort

The Weaver STS Pine Knot Split Reins are designed for the rider who knows that the secret to a soft horse is a clear signal. Crafted by Weaver Leather, these reins feature traditional weighted pineapple knots at the bit ends, providing that "pre-balanced" feel that eliminates bounce and ensures your horse feels the release the instant you give slack.

Made from premium Canyon Rose harness leather, these reins are hand-rubbed with saddle butter and finished with beveled, slicked edges. You won't find any stiff, "new-leather" struggle here; they arrive supple and ready for the trail or the show ring, feeling like a pair you’ve used for years from the very first ride.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why are the pineapple knots weighted on these reins?

The weighted ends on the Weaver STS Pine Knot Split Reins add balance to the bit, reducing rein bounce and allowing the horse to feel a distinct "drop" the moment you release pressure, which is essential for training and refinement.

Q: Do I need to oil these reins before my first ride?

No, these reins are hand-rubbed with saddle butter and beveled by the craftsmen at Weaver Leather, meaning they arrive with a "broken-in" feel that is soft and ready to use immediately.
