Rope Mecates

Mecate's

Although these mecate's maybe more expensive then cotton or derby rope, they are well worth the money. They wear like iron. They also will not break when a tied horse pulls back. These mecate's are very effect in training horses for several reasons. One they have a braided inner core and a braided out cover so the two parts move independently from one another creating that "live" feel. Two they are heavy in weight which allows the slightest cue to be felt by the horse, the reward comes quicker so the horse learns faster. No wonder top trainer prefer mecate's like these.

Braid on Braid (Yachting Rope)

This 1/2" Rope is made from 16 Plait Braid on Braid Polyester Rope. It has a braided polyester core inside and a braided polyester outer cover. It has high durability, abrasion, low stretch, is unaffected by water, and UV resistance. It is made for high strength and stability. It is soft, flexible and has a nice sheen finish.

Polyester produces less friction so that means a greatly reduced chance of rope burn and less abrasion on your horse’s skin. Combined with a comfortable weight in the hand our Braid on Braid rope is perfect for all natural horsemanship techniques.

Knots tied in polyester will hold tight, but can always be undone should adjustment be required.

Unlike cheap mecate cords and webbing, Polyester will not harden or powder with age and will have only minor fading over the long life of the rope. It is unaffected by water, will not rot, mold or mildew and is resistant to most acids and oils. Polyester can be washed with normal household detergents in warm water.

Cheap polypropylene mecate cords and webbing have a much lower breaking strain (about 30% less) and lose another 30% per year through age. Polyester ropes lose only 3% per year making ropes that can be relied on not to break.
