Mecates
|
Mecates are a type of rein that, for many years, have been used on snaffle bits and rawhide bosals. When used with Slobber Leathers they form a closed rein and lead rope combined. Double braid nylon is famous for feel and body. The mecate has a rawhide knot on one end and a leather popper on the other. The tassel is made from the same nylon material. It is 1/2" in diameter and available in three sizes. |

When tying a mecate to a bit it is imortant that you make sure that the knot and tassel is on the right side or the off side of the horse. The rein length is adjustable so find a length that best suits your needs. The mecate is attached using the leather straps shown which are called Slobber Leathers.
