STS RANCH SIGNATURE TACK LATIGO LEATHER SPLIT REIN PINEAPPLE KNOT

Crafted as part of the STS Ranch Signature Tack line, these 8’ burgundy latigo split reins reflect the values Stran Smith built his career on—resilience, precision, and purpose. The weighted pineapple knot ends provide a balanced feel and clear communication, whether you’re working on the ranch or making a run in the arena. The reins are hand-rubbed with saddle butter for a naturally broken-in feel and finished with slicked edges for all-day comfort in your hands.

Raised on a ranch in the rugged terrain of the Texas Panhandle, Stran became a World Champion Tie-Down Roper, a ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee, and an 11-time NFR qualifier. But it wasn’t just the victories that shaped him, it was the setbacks and the comebacks. After winning a world championship following a stroke, heart surgery, and career-threatening injuries, Stran stopped chasing gold buckles. He turned his focus to building a family and STS Ranch, a brand focused on faith, integrity, quality and purpose. It was a change of mission that redefined what success really meant.

That philosophy drives STS Ranch Signature Tack, built in partnership with Weaver Equine and handcrafted in the USA. Designed for riders who value integrity, hard work, and gear that’s made to last, every piece reflects the lessons Stran learned both inside and outside the arena— it’s not just about the wins, it’s about how you ride through the challenges, and what you can count on along the way.
