Elevate your horsemanship with our handcrafted Mecate Reins, made from premium 9/16" double braid polyester yacht rope for a responsive, “live feel” connection with your horse. These reins deliver exceptional communication, balance, and control—perfect for groundwork, traditional hackamore setups, or attached to the bit with slobber straps.
 
Crafted with performance in mind, the rope is proudly made in the USA from high-grade polyester the same rope used by your favorite clinicians —renowned for its low stretch, UV resistance, and outstanding abrasion durability. The double braid construction offers just the right amount of heft and feel, giving you consistent feedback without sacrificing comfort in the hand.
