Hi, as I know that paracord braided reins and bridles are almost unbreakable I have been thinking about the best posibility to connect reins/mecates to the bit. Would you think a leather water strap is breakable enough to avoid injuries to the horse in case of an accident? The same with slobber straps? What about romal reins made of rawhide, are these usually very strong or would they break away in case of stepping on the rein of similar? What are your experiences regarding this aspect? What gives actually the strenght go the paracord string, the core? So If I take the core out the paracord will loose strenght and break much easier? Maybe a connector made of a simple coreless braid of 3 or 4 strings would be fine? Many questions. Sorry for that.

Looks real good! Makes me envious seeing those nice objects. If only I could get some rawhide over here........

It looks great! Did you take the core out of the paracord? I started braiding with paracord but I (like ahimsacowgirl ) I avoided to try making a bosal. Is it smooth on the nose of your horse? Did you put some kind of tape around the rope to make it thicker? Many questions, I apologise . But maybe if I get some more information I might try to make one
