What is a mecate? A mecate is a rein and lead. You start on the right hand side of the bridle, pass the rein through a slobber strap from the outside in, up around to the rider and back down to the left side of the bridle. You need to leave a comfortable amount of play in the rein. The mecate the passes again through a slobber strap from the inside to the outside, up around the slobber strap in a simple knot, and the rest goes back up to the rider as a lead. A lot of riders tuck the lead in their belt so that if they fall or get bucked off, they can grab the mecate and save them selves a long walk home.
