Handmade Mane Hair Mecate

A beautifully handmade Mecate.

The width is 5/8 '' and the rein is approximately 102 '' long.

MFG Rawhides Mecates are hand twisted four-and-six strand tail and mane hair ropes. All the hair is washed and separated by color (only about 10-15% are white, which adds the contrasting color for so many of our Mecates) and then twisted into individual strands. And then twisted again to form the finished Mecate of four-and-six strands.

Carrying on the California tradition that started in the days of the Spanish Vaquero (cowboy) is part of Rawhide business.
