String Running Martingale #CM4
$48.00Description: The String Running Martingale #CM4 is made of tan 1/4 inch nylon cord. The rings and swivel snap are stainless steel. The safety hobble strap goes through the gullet of the saddle and over the horn to prevent the neck strap from sliding to the ears. This martingale is adjustable both around the neck and to the cinch.
How it works: The running martingale is a very useful tool to aid a horse in learning proper head position as he learns collection. If adjusted correctly a martingale does not force the head to stay in any given position but allows the horse a guide for head placement through automatic release of pressure on the reins when correct head placement is achieved. This can make it easier for a horse to reach a more collected frame over time by allowing assistance with head position as rider teaches the horse to drive from behind.
A good rule of thumb for adjustment is to allow horse to stand comfortably, attach snap to cinch D ring and extend ring straps until they reach the throatlatch.

Bosalita 1/2 Inch #HU1
Price range: $422.00 through $604.00Description & Choices:
Bosalita size: The rawhide used in this 1/2 Inch Bosalita is precisely hand beveled for a smooth finish. The 1/2 inch core is 12 plait and the 7 inch nose button is 20 plait. At 5 inches in width between the hanger buttons this bosalita measures 12 inches from top to bottom (picture at left). This is a top quality, functional bosalita for your 2 rein horse.
Heel Knot: The rawhide heel knot on the Dennis Moreland Bosalita is heavy to give instant release when the pressure on the mecate is released. A special addition to the Dennis Moreland Bosalita is the spacer inside the heel knot, between each side of the core, which gives the mecate enough space to lay correctly. This is a very nice improvement over bosalitas with no spacer.
Hanger: This comes with a 3/8 inch handmade latigo California Style Hanger. The hanger is hand edged, rubbed and waxed.
Mecates: You may buy the bosalita with or without a mecate. See these options in the dropdown.
#DK1 Mecate: This Horse Mane Hair Mecate is twisted on a horsehair core and is 22 feet long. This mecate has a firm twist, good body and a very soft hand. 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. For more information click #DK1 3/8 inch 4 strand Horse Mane-Hair Mecate.
We will be happy to tie your mecate to your bosalita when you purchase them together but you may need to adjust the wraps to fit your horse after you receive it.

DM Round Buckle Straight Cinch #20CSR
$98.00Description: These hand-tied premium-grade cinches are made of 31 strands of Mohair-blend cinch cord. Most cinches or girths have 27 strands of cord or less. The extra strands allow the pressure to be spread further and also feel better to the horse. It’s just a more comfortable cinch. The buckles are made from round stainless steel rod and are 5/16 inch x 2 5/8 inches. These cinches come with a nylon web center strap with 1 inch stainless steel Dees and a nylon web keeper for the double off tails on the right side. Round ring cinches come in a variety of sizes to fit every horse (see dropdown).
How it works: This 31 strand cinch will not curl or stretch and will last for years. The carefully crafted buckles are designed to always pull straight to prevent galling. The round rings fit well on any horse but are particularly good on small and young horses. The round shape prevents a small horse from being rubbed behind the elbow by the edge of the buckle. Watch the video and read the blog: How to Measure for Cinch Length to make sure you get a cinch that fits.
Dennis Moreland Cinches have been the top choice of professional horsemen for fifty years.

Double Buckle Curb Strap with Rawhide #CU41
$72.00Description: The Double Buckle Curb Strap with Rawhide #CU41 is made of single ply 5/8 inch harness leather that is hand-edged, hand-rubbed, treated with Neatsfoot Oil and hand-rubbed again. Beautiful hand braided rawhide keepers and flat rawhide braid at the chin are added to complete the look. The buckles are stainless steel. The leather beneath the buckles is sewn together to prevent the buckles from slipping during adjustments.
How it works: The braided rawhide at the chin gives a quicker signal than a leather curb. It comes in contact with the chin slightly before the leather. The braided rawhide also gives a stronger signal than plain leather because of it’s texture. This curb may be really helpful on a horse that isn’t responding to the pull on the reins as well as it should with a leather curb. This curb gives a stronger, quicker signal than a leather curb but not as strong as the Double Buckle Curb Strap with Rawhide Ball #CU42.
