Horse Tack Your Grandparents Trusted: The Weaver Equine Heritage

When Harry Weaver crafted his first leather halter in 1973, he wasn’t just creating horse tack, he was laying the foundation for a lasting legacy built on craftsmanship, reliability, and pride in every stitch. More than fifty years later, that original commitment to quality remains at the heart of Weaver Equine.

Leather Tack Proudly Crafted in the USA

Built in Mt. Hope, Ohio, Weaver Equine has grown from its modest beginnings as Weaver Leather into a thriving center of leather craftsmanship and a trusted name in horse tack and equipment. Many of our products are made right here in Ohio by a dedicated team that takes pride in every detail.

All orders ship directly from our Mt. Hope warehouse, ensuring efficient delivery and careful handling every step of the way. Whether it’s crafted in-house or sourced from a trusted partner, every Weaver product is held to the same rigorous standards our customers have counted on for more than 50 years.

Premium Leather in Weaver Equine Tack

Weaver Equine uses top-grade materials sourced from respected leather tanneries, including St. Louis, Missouri heritage tannery Hermann Oak, which has been in the leather tanning business for more than 100 years. Many of our products and product lines feature premium leather that is specially chosen because it is the highest quality and we are proud to stamp our name on it. This level of quality ensures our tack performs superbly under tough riding conditions while providing a refined, ready-to-use feel from the first ride.

From the rugged ProTack collection, handcrafted in our Ohio factory and known for its heavy-duty veg-tanned Hermann Oak harness leather, to the STS Ranch Signature tack line developed in collaboration with rodeo legend Stran T Smith, many Weaver Equine products reflect a legacy of excellence built on superior leather.

Traditional Quality Meets Modern Performance Tack

While we respect and maintain traditional techniques, Weaver Equine consistently innovates, integrating modern materials and technology to enhance horse and rider comfort and performance. Our Airflex cinches, Synergy saddle pads, F3 Prodigy horse sport boots and Coolcore horse blankets are just a few examples of how we’ve let customer demand and new technology shape our contributions to the traditions of Western horse tack. It’s this careful blend of tradition and innovation that keeps Weaver Equine tack both timeless and relevant.

Each product undergoes rigorous quality checks, ensuring it’s ready to endure years of use. Weaver Equine’s "Always Guaranteed" promise underscores our confidence in every product we ship from Mt. Hope.

If there's a problem, just pick up the phone to talk to a real person in Holmes County, Ohio. Our customer service is trained to find solutions to whatever problem you’re having, and they have access to our wide range of experts in leather, horses and tack who are always willing to help.

Horse Tack Built to Last a Lifetime

Weaver Equine tack is more than horse equipment, it’s a part of your horseback legacy. We hear stories of Weaver horse tack being passed down through generations, becoming cherished heirlooms that reflect a rich history of horsemanship. 

That’s what we like to hear.

In today’s throwaway society we want to be a name that's known to last. We want you to buy another set of reins because you love them so much, not because the last ones broke. We want you to try our mohair cinches because you trust us to deliver quality at an affordable price. We want to be the number you call and the brand you reach for when you need tack you can depend on to help you and your horse be your best.

Our goal isn’t to just keep selling horse tack and leather products. It’s to keep selling the best horse tack and leather products, accompanied by the most reliable customer service and a genuine consideration for each customer.  

Ride with confidence. Ride with heritage. Ride with Weaver Equine.
