this is a twelve strand hackamore with an 8bight heel knot.
this is the first set of reins that i made they are 8 plait and I made them too small for normal use but I like using them with a heavy set of chains when im riding a horse in the two rein at first.
this is the first thing I ever braided and it was a major undertaking its a 4 plait reata about 50 ft. I went to slaughter house picked out the cow i wanted and after a lot of profanity this is what i got!
