5/8″ Harness on Latigo Reins #BLH58
$149.00
Description: If you’re looking for a very heavy rein with a lot of feel then this harness on latigo double and stitched rein is for you.
Custom cut from harness leather and lined with latigo leather, these reins are 5/8” wide and 7’9” long. The stitching is compressed tightly into the leather. As with all of Dennis’ reins, these are hand edged, rubbed with saddle soap, oiled and saddle soaped again to give the leather a tremendous feel in your hands. Trainers tell us they love these reins for their weight and feel. They will last for years.

Crafting: To make double and stitched romals and reins I take 2 pieces of latigo and split them to the correct thicknesses. Next I glue the 2 pieces and carefully cut the desired lengths. Finally they’re stitched together. Double and stitched leather is more durable and longer lasting than single ply leather. The double & stitched items are not thicker than single ply leather so still have that good feel in your hands. All of the rawhide at Dennis Moreland Tack is produced entirely by hand from start to finish before being braided.
Your rawhide should be conditioned regularly with #ZK Vaquero Rawhide Cream.

5/8″ XXX Harness Leather Split Reins #ASR2
$135.00Description: These XXX 5/8-inch-wide reins are heavy and at 7 1/2 to 8 feet are long enough to really roll them some slack. This length is ideal for those who show horses in a variety of classes in the curb bit. They give you the feel you need to win. The reins lay nicely off your horse’s neck and shoulder when held in one hand but they’re not so long that they’ll drag or get stepped on. The tail of these reins won’t interfere with your horse’s natural gait.
Crafting: Heavy harness leather bridle reins are very special to us. Every effort is made to give you the best rein you have ever had. We work closely with the tannery to get only the finest dense, tight fibered leather available. We cut the reins in pairs, hand edge, hand rub, oil and hand rub them again for a great feel before they’re shipped to you. This tight fibered harness leather will last for years. Please feel free to call 832-529-9226 and we will “talk reins”.

$299.00Description: This 5/8 inch mecate, also called a McCarty, is designed for the hackamore and snaffle bit reinsman. This mecate has a firm twist on a horsehair core, good body and a very soft hand. It is 22 feet long. Let this 5/8″ 6 Strand Horse Mane-Hair Mecate #DK5 be your ultimate horse hair rope!
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. We have 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. 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 a superior quality professional mecate.
