Round 3/8″ Nylon Mecate #DMR3
$108.00
Description: This is a nice mecate to use on your 2 rein bosalita, your snaffle, or to use at home on any hackamore. This Round 3/8″ Nylon Mecate #DMR3, also called a McCarty, is 22 feet long and is made of round 3/8-inch nylon rope. It has a nylon tassel on one end and a latigo popper on the other end.

Romal Reins Connecting Straps #ZO
Price range: $70.00 through $87.00Description: Our handmade Romal Reins Connecting Straps #ZO are made of latigo leather with rawhide loop keepers. They are 1/2 inch wide and have 5 adjustment holes (with room for more) to allow you to change the length between 4 1/2 and 6 inches. The roller buckles are stainless steel. The leather beneath each buckle is hand stitched together to prevent the buckle from slipping down the strap during adjustments. The hand braided rawhide loop keepers make these quality straps even more beautiful. They add a nice accent to rawhide, kangaroo or leather romal reins!
How they work: These straps will safely connect your romal reins to your bit. The stainless steel roller buckles allow easy and quick adjustments in length. These straps will work with or without snaps. Three inch stainless steel bolt snaps (shown in photos of horses) are available in the dropdown for an extra $17.00. If you order snaps we’ll put them on the straps before we ship them.

1/2″ 6 Strand Mane-Hair Mecate #DK3
$265.00Description: To make this 1/2 inch mecate, six strands of mane-hair are firmly twisted on a horse hair core to 1/2 inch. This mecate, sometimes called a McCarty, is 22 feet long and used on both hackamores and snaffle bits. This 1/2″ 6 Strand Mane-Hair Mecate #DK3 will meet the requirements of even the most discriminating reinsman.
We will be happy to tie this mecate to a bosal if you purchase one but you may need to adjust the number of wraps to fit your horse after you receive it. There are various colors available including sorrels, greys, blacks and whites. Please call 832-529-9226 for color availability. If we don’t hear from you, we will choose the color.
How it works: Horse mane-hair mecates are widely used in the California-vaquero tradition. They are traditionally used on both hackamores and snaffle bits. A horse responds to the feel of the horse hair on their neck better than to many other materials. The traditional material and patterns also look exceptionally good on our horses. This is the ultimate horse hair rope.

Crafting: These are cut in pairs from the best hides, hand edged, hand rubbed, oiled and hand rubbed again before they’re shipped to you. This tight fibered harness leather will last for years of hard use. These are stamped X on the ends, just like the Dennis Moreland X Reins, the difference is in the length.

Performance Rein with Training Fork #CM6
Price range: $101.00 through $107.00Description: The Performance Rein is made of 5/8-inch solid braid nylon rope in your choice of 7 foot and 9 foot lengths. The exceptional quality of this rope makes it so easy to quickly adjust this rein in your hands. The 7 foot length is built to ride smaller cow and reining bred colts in. The 9-foot length is great for any horse. For safety the rein comes with leather rein stops on each end to prevent the rings of the training fork from becoming hooked on either the rein ends or the shanks of your bit. There are 3/4-inch leather rein ends (water loops) securely attached to both ends of this continuous rein.
The adjustable training fork is made of tan 1/4-inch solid braid nylon rope with two 1 1/2-inch stainless steel rings tied to the ends for the rein to run through. A stainless-steel snap attaches it to the cinch.
How it works: The continuous rein lets you train with close contact to the bit and with either one or both hands on the rein. The training fork will apply pressure to the rein and bit anytime the horse’s head rises above the desired headset position. You simply adjust the length of the cord that connects to the cinch to place the training fork rings in the correct position for each horse you’re riding.
Do not let the horse drop its head to the ground because it can step on the rein or training fork and cause an accident. When you dismount, immediately unsnap the training fork from the cinch.
This Performance Rein is available in Brown and Tri-color (see pictures at left). Select the color you prefer in the dropdown.
Also shown on the horse is the 3/4 Inch Short Cheek Browband Headstall #HS25, the Offset D Ring Snaffle Bit #19 and the Single Buckle Leather Curb Strap #CU31.
