All split reins are paired as they are cut from the hide. This insures that each rein is equal in strength to its partner. They are cut from premium harness leather or English bridle leather hides bought from a reputable source right here in the USA.
Harness leather reins are cut and split to a thickness of approximately 3/16". The popper ends are left at their full thickness which can be from 1/4" to 5/16". They are then beveled on the edges and conditioned with a premium tannery grade leather conditioner. They may feel a bit "greasy" at first, but this conditioner keeps them buttery soft and water resistant.
English bridle leather split reins are approximately 1/8" thick.
