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.
Available in lengths from 20 to 24 feet, each mecate is tailored to your preferences with a range of customizable end finishes:
- Rope tassel with paracord button
- Rope tassel with kangaroo lace button
- Horsehair tassel with rawhide or kangaroo lace button
Use with your own slobber straps or purchase our Hermann Oak set (*limited supply*)
Whether you’re training, refining communication, or embracing traditional vaquero-style riding, these mecate reins combine functionality, craftsmanship, and lasting quality.
