Who is WD Leather LLC and WD Bits?
Chris Weaver and Tammy Donnell Weaver are the faces behind the Brand.
Chris has been in the equine industry 40+ years. He started creating equine leather products in 1993. Chris’s experience in the equine industry has spanned a lifetime from growing up showing horses, competing in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Assn for over 10 years, retail store owner, national sales rep, director of sales, consulting, and most recently Vice-President of Bob’s Custom Saddles. Chris has designed countless new equine products for leading manufacturers.
After a 3.5 year health battle, Chris made the decision to follow his passion and launch his own Brand. Priorities definitely change when faced with a health crisis.
The foundational principles of WD Leather LLC are uncompromising quality, trust, integrity, and authenticity. A true testament of commitment to the equine industry and the western lifestlye.
WD Leather LLC is committed to earning your trust with a quality-first mindset in all aspects of the business. These ideals guide every decision made from selection of the finest raw materials, design, and construction.
The products created by WD Leather LLC will give you the ultimate Fit, Feel, Balance, and Function, facilitating better connection between horse and rider.
The goal is to produce the highest quality products that exceed your expectations inside and outside of the arena.
In addition to the leather products, a brand new line of innovative bits designed specifically for the wester equine performance industry was born out of a partnership with Master Bit Maker, Greg Darnall. Greg has designed these, never before released, bits exclusively for WD Bits. The initial launch includes 9 new bits designs.
WD Leather LLC leather products are all made in the USA and include multiple options of One Ear Headstalls, Browband Headstalls, Double & Stitched and Harness Reins, Leather Curbs, Breast Collars, and many other items.
The difference is Fit, Feel, and Function.
What makes these leather products different is in the details. No corner is cut to create the highest quality leather product available. The first detail that is immediately noticed upon picking up a headstall or a pair of reins is the way they FEEL. They are buttery-soft, smooth, and supple. The FEEL is just different. The reins FEEL amazing on day 1, not after riding with them for a year. The headstalls have the same buttery-soft, smooth, and supple FEEL and are also designed with the horse in mind. The seems are finished on the inside to have one continuous smooth feel, no more rub spots on horses. The leather conforms to the horse's head and each part of the headstall is designed to FIT.
The combination of the ultimate FEEL and FIT are designed and created to give the rider and the horse the greatest FUNCTION to get the job done.
