Bosaltermore Mecate Rsp.jpg (140879 bytes)

Bosaltermore - Black Accessory Cord halter with braided trim of purple and raspberry paracord.  Poly/Nylon reins in raspberry with black, purple and raspberry tassels.  Two styles of reins shown:  10' Loop or 22' Mecate. Custom ordered color combination.

I braid paracord or leather lace onto the noseband of regular halters to create "bosalters".  This is a true braided trim (not just cord wrapped around the noseband) and is not only decorative but creates a bosal-type nosepiece.  Tie end has braided button too.  Combine a bosalter with reins to create a "bosaltermore".

Regular Halter - Double Braid Polyester in red.

All halters are hand tied using one continuous length of rope with true double overhand knots and the authentic fiador knot at the chin.  Tie end is whipped with waxed polyester cord and dipped in rope sealant for a durable non-metal finish.

Halters can be ordered in standard sizes of XS (pony, yearling); S (Arab, small horse); Ave. (QH type); L (Warmblood) or measure your horse for a custom fit.  See Measuring Guide and Size Chart page.

14' Lead Rope with Eye Spliced Loop or Button End  - Samson Stable Braid in White with blue tracer.  (Many famous trainers use Samson Stable Braid for leads and reins.)

All lead lines have a latigo leather popper on the end and your choice of halter attachment: Eye-spliced Loop - for a non-metal connection; Button end - easily removable non-metal connection; Snap - see choices below.  Standard lengths of 12', 14' and 22' but you can custom order any length.
