Our Central Coast Ranch Rawhide (CCRR) is made by Aaron Winchell from local hides in the authentic California vaquero tradition. It is sustainable and made without chemicals to preserve the "life" and feel that serious horsemen seek.
The hide colors are natural. None are exposed to dyes that dry out or stiffen the strings. We get black, red, and some yellow hides.
It all depends upon the availability.
|
Unless otherwise stated, all HH bosals have
CCRR braided cores & hand braided latigo hangers.

*Latigo is a cowhide leather, it is most commonly used as the strap that is used to secure western style saddle cinchas. The latigo buttons are offered as our introductory option. Practical and functional for buttons, the latigo over time won't be as durable as the roo. Additionally, the latigo is only available in a burgundy color.
Roo is a much stronger and durable leather than the latigo. The material is significantly more expensive. Roo is a very tight grained leather and has the highest tensile strength of any leather. It retains its good looks for many years with care. |
Optional Additions |
|
- Latigo browband with poly fiador -- add $55
- Latigo browband and throat latch -- add $35
- Silver and fancy buttons -- call for your design and quote
- Mane mecate "sleeves" may be added to new CC mecates to protect the tender chin of the horse from potential abrasion (as suggested by Dick Deller in his book One Man's Opinion). -- add $10
