I took these photos this spring but Merlin works on making mecates almost every day as he did today. Here are two photos of him at work twisting mane hair into a strand. (Tail hair is too prickly) Depending upon the size of the mecate which should match the diameter of the bosal, it will generally be four strand and six strand but I own an eight strand for a ¾ bosal. Mecates are generally 22 - 24 long. Merlin also makes 16 get down ropes. Get down ropes are for just that: mounting, dismounting and leading your bridle horse or ponying him. It is for control, direction and safety. Never, but never, should it be used for tying.
