Slobber Straps
You can't use a mecate without slobber straps, so we offer some to fit every
taste.
We offer our slobber straps in the same English
Bridle leather as our headstalls and they are available in the same colors;
black, dark brown, burgundy, medium brown, chestnut and tan. We can also
make them out of harness leather to match our harness leather headstalls and are
now offering them in saddle skirting leather as well.
Some styles, namely the narrow button-on style, are available in latigo only.
Shaped, lined and stamped slobber straps are also available by
special order.
All of our slobber straps have a 5/8" hole for the mecate unless a
larger or smaller hole is specified. They also have a long slit in addition the
the hole to allow the mecate some extra room to slide through.
We hope you enjoy the pictures below. Please click on the photos to enlarge.

Our straight, unlined
slobber straps are reasonably
priced at $20 for chestnut or tan. As shown here in dark brown (or in
medium brown, black or burgundy), they are $23. |
 |
Here is another
version of our basic straight and unlined slobber strap. This pair has a
beaded border (the raised line) framed on both sides by a large border
stamp. Price is $37
per pair in tan and chestnut and $40 per pair in black, dark brown, medium
brown and burgundy. |

We began making these
buckle-on slobber straps at the request of a client. They are an
alternative to our button-on design and are slightly easier to unfasten
from the bit. They make switching a mecate from bit to bit very easy.
These are shown with #132 cart buckles to match the buckles on our headstalls,
but we offer them with a slightly narrower buckle as well. Buckles are
available in brass, chrome and stainless steel.
Tan or chestnut slobber straps are $47. Black, dark brown, medium brown
and burgundy colors are $52. |

Straight cut narrow
latigo button-on slobber straps are especially handy for attaching mecates
to side pulls or short shanked snaffle bits. They also give a regular
snaffle bit and mecate set up a new look.
These are only available in latigo leather. Burgundy latigo is always
available, dark brown and black latigo straps in this style are subject to
leather availability. Price is $33 per pair as shown and $35 for burgundy,
dark brown and black with dyed edges. |

This is our Buffalo style of shaped slobber strap. This one is
plain, lined chestnut English bridle leather.
This style and all of our other plain, lined slobber straps are $32 in tan
and chestnut. Black, dark brown, medium brown and burgundy plain, lined
straps are $34. |
 |
This is a pair of our
Cheyenne slobber straps in saddle skirting
leather that has been stamped and lined. The stamping pattern is an
arrowhead basket done with a small basket stamp. These are $58 as shown or
in tan or chestnut and $61 in black, dark brown, medium brown and
burgundy. |

A bit of silver can really fancy up a pair of slobber straps
and these are a good example. At the top is our Wyarno style with a large
basket stamp and an 1-3/4" silver plate concho. Note the double rope
center of the basket stamp. The slobber strap at the bottom is a dressed
up version of our straight strap. It also features a large basket stamp
and the concho is silver plate and 1" in diameter. Both of these are
dark brown English bridle leather that has also been lined and stitched. |

Here are three different styles of shaped and lined slobber
straps, all made out of saddle skirting. At the top
is our Sundance style with a large double rope basket stamp. In the middle is
the Cheyenne style with a
flower center basket stamp. Our Sheridan style is at the bottom. It features a large
ball center basket stamp. These slobber straps are $46 as shown and $49
for black, dark brown, medium brown and burgundy with dyed edges. |
