Support Breast Cancer Awareness with Horse tack

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 (cincha on the right) with custom color combinations and the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon.

The pink ribbon traditional handmade (cincha on the left) 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)

"It's great to be able to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Not only are our pink chinches promoting health for women, they are also helping horses these women ride, be more comfortable." - Val Littfin (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.........

Seventy-five percent of the proceeds raised by Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Boise Affiliate are awarded via grants to organizations for programs that offer breast cancer education, screening or treatment.

100% Mohair Breast Collars, Mecates and Cinchs - Vaquero Style!

A new Mecate is pretty, but an old Mecate is beautiful. All of the hair prickles are worn off so the pattern is very crisp and distinct. The colors are still as bright as the day it was made. There is some dander and dirt where it has rubbed many a horse's neck, but that just gives it character!

Mohair and Mane hair Mecates are a natural alternative to synthetic fiber Mecates. They are comparable in price, yet have a longer usable life.

Below is a simple list of the benefits of having Mohair or Mane Hair Mecates:

Mane hair/mohair is very strong, yet not as heavy as other materials, lighter Mecate, lighter horse.

Mane hair/mohair, unlike synthetic materials, is not broken down by UV radiation

Mane hair/mohair as a natural animal fiber, softens with age and use

Since mane hair is slick, hard and relatively non-porous, they stay cleaner longer and are easier to clean when they do need it.

A well made, well maintained Mecate will last a lifetime and longer. There is nothing quite like a good mane hair/mohair Mecate. They have weight, but not too much, they are balanced, and a truly good one has a life of it's own.

Below is a list of the disadvantages associated with synthetic Mecates:

Nylon (yacht braid and braided parachute cord), polyester and polypropylene are all heavier than mohair/mane hair.

All synthetic materials are broken down by ultraviolet radiation from the sun, which makes them stiffen as they age. Many people think the ropes are stiff because they are dirty and think washing them will solve the problem, but it is actually the rope breaking down.

All synthetics and plant fibers (such as cotton or rayon) are slightly rough. This allows sweat and dirt to adhere to them and it doesn't take long for them to get dirty.

Mohair/ Mane Hair Mecates have a timeless quality with character! They are the Mecates To Demand!

Buckaroo Leather carries a variety of styles of Mohair and Mane Hair Mecates, Cinches, and Hackamores. Our quality and service are second to none! We are the Brand To Demand!
