Pink for the Cure....Cinch up for Cure..Horse Tack for Breast Cancer

 Buckaroo Leather, Susan G Komen for the Cure, Boise Affiliate and Traditional Mohair Cinchas are proud to support breast cancer awareness with a custom piece of western horse tack.


"CINCH UP FOR THE CURE"
Buckaroo Leather will donate $20 from every Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Cincha
(item #C11V) sold to the
"SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE, BOISE AFFILIATE".


 


Buckaroo Leather now offers the Buckaroo Cowboy Cincha (the cincha below) with custom color combinations and the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon.




The pink ribbon traditional handmade (the cincha below) Vaquero cincha is a custom made mohair cinch. The inspiration for this unique piece of traditional western horse tack came from a Breast Cancer survivor. It was a special gift to herself, a reminder, of her second anniversary of recovery. 




The mohair cincha has the recognizable pink cancer awareness ribbon, with the colors, pink for breast cancer, white for purity and black to honor those who have lost the battle.


This inspirational cincha is hand woven with care one thread at a time by Traditional Mohair Cinchas.


"The Vaquero cincha with the pink ribbon is an ever vigilant symbol of victory over breast cancer and a reminder that early detection of breast cancer saves lives".- Vicki Geretschlaeger (owner)




How does this mohair cincha benefit the horse? Mohair, a natural animal fiber, is the long, silky hair of the Angora goat which has been carded, spun and corded. Not only does mohair wick sweat and moisture away from your horse, it is breathable, soft, resilient and durable.


Mohair cinches are a good choice for horses who chafe or are allergic to synthetic or non-breathing materials commonly used in today's cinches. Mohair's durability and breath ability make it an ideal material for comfortable, sturdy and long lasting cinches.



If you have a loved one, friend, or are a breast cancer survivor yourself, and are a horse enthusiast, help Buckaroo Leather and Traditional Mohair Cinchas raise awareness and hope......... 

Be sure to visit our Cinch Pink for the Cure Facebook Fan page and show your support........

Old Vaquero Mecate Reins-how were they made?

"The Mares would take a dislike to the stallions if we cut their tails"
a quote from and old Vaquero.





This quote is referring to how the old Vaqueros and cowboys made their mecate ropes/reins.

Different colors of hair were hand braided into a strong and beautiful mecate rope/reins. The hairs used, were cut from the Mare's tails and manes.

The stallions were used for breeding and working on the range and their manes and tails were never cut......

Mane hair mecate reins are still used today. They have the best feel and communication with the horse.

The mohair mecate reins used today, still have great feel and communication between rider and horse but are a little easier on the hands-especially if you have a softer grip.

The newest style of mecate reins are the 100% Alpaca reins. Their feel and communication with rider and horse are also good.

Buckaroo Leather carries all 3 styles of Mecates Reins......




Mohair Mecate-
They have pretty much the same body and feel as the good mane hair mecates. These are the best we have found braided in the old California Vaquero style! The mecate reins are available in brown, grey, palomino, and black.







100% Alpaca Mecate



Hand Woven 100% Alpaca Mecate Reins. The Alpaca fibers used in these Mecates in grown on a family ranch in South East Colorado.

100% Alpaca Mecates-Hand made In the United States


Buckaroo Leather is proud to offer 100% Alpaca Mecates-hand made here in the United States.

Buckaroo Leather is proud to have found a family run Alpaca ranch in

South East Colorado. The Alpacas are shorn each year and the family has an integral part in the shearing process. This allows the family hands on experience with the Alpaca fiber. All the Alpaca fiber is spun in the United States under the direction of the family.

Each 100% Alpaca Mecate is hand woven and twisted by the family to ensure the quality and craftsmanship for that ultimate feel and communication of each piece...

What are the benefits of using an Alpaca Mecate?

As mentioned in our blog on 100% Alpaca Cinches,

Alpaca wool is considered as soft or softer than cashmere and lighter than sheep’s wool, and is fine and strong.

The qualities of Alpaca fiber make it a natural resource for a Mecate.
First, it is a natural organic fiber, not processed, which is better for the environment.

Second the strength and extreme durability of this fiber is a must for the mecate.
The 100% Alpaca Mecate reins are the natural choice! U.S. grown and manufactured Alpaca fiber with the hand made fine craftsmanship of traditional Vaquero of the Old West!

Ties beautiful on a bosal for a perfect hackamore rein...
