Hand Braided Horse Hair Mecates

These mecates are a little different that what you see most places, but after years of riding hackamore horses I can say without a doubt that I prefer them to any other. Of course they're made from mane hair, but rather than using 6 strands and a core, like most you'll see, these have only four stands, and no core.

We've also minimized the white hairs as much as we could, because in my experience they are the stiffer hairs. My favorite mecates have always been darker ones. I just like the way they feel in my hand better, and where the cores can get stiff if they get damp, these will always have a nice feel to them. The size you use is just a matter of what feels best in your hands.
