The braided nylon provides outstanding strength, weather resistance, and a consistent feel that's easy to grip and maintain. The horsehair tassel, on the other hand, offers a traditional weight and texture crucial for transmitting subtle, clear signals to your horse, providing that authentic, responsive feel cherished by equestrians.How does the mecate feel in hand, and how effective is it for communication?Initially, new horsehair mecates might feel a bit bristly, but with regular use, they will naturally soften and smooth out, typically within a few months to a year. This mecate is designed for exceptional signal clarity. The horsehair's unique properties allow for subtle yet effective communication, giving you precise control and enhancing your horse's responsiveness.How durable is this mecate, and what is its expected lifespan?This mecate is described as "quality-constructed" for a reason. Built with durable braided nylon and robust traditional components, it's designed for longevity. With proper care and maintenance, you can expect this Weaver Mecate to be a reliable and essential piece of your tack for many years of regular riding, delivering consistent performance through countless training sessions and trail rides.What traditional features are included in this mecate?We've meticulously incorporated several traditional elements that are integral to a classic mecate. This includes a beautifully braided rawhide button for a touch of authentic craftsmanship, a genuine horsehair tassel for traditional feel and weight, and a leather popper with a bleeding heart knot at the other end. These details not only enhance its aesthetics but also contribute to its traditional functionality.What is the recommended care and maintenance for this mecate?To ensure your Weaver Mecate maintains its performance and extends its life, particularly the horsehair components, it's generally advised not to wash or soak it. Excessive washing can cause the horsehair to become soft and spongy, diminishing its ability to transmit clear signals. If it becomes dirty or sweaty, simply rinse it with clean water and hang it to dry away from direct sunlight. This simple care routine will preserve its integrity and feel.Product Details: Product Item Number (SKU): 50-1693-BKReady to elevate your connection with your horse?
