This is what it's all about. 🌸

Gene out on the trail, mecate reins in hand, lily pads on the water, and not a care in the world. I love seeing my tack out where it belongs. Not hanging on a hook, but actually being used and enjoyed on rides like this one.

This custom mecate in Lavender, Rose Pink, Tan, and White is such a dreamy combination. It is soft and feminine without being too precious for the trail. It photographs beautifully, but more importantly it rides beautifully, and that's what really matters.

If you've been dreaming up your perfect color combination, custom orders are open at KiraJuneBraids.Etsy.com. Let's make something you'll want to take everywhere. 🤍

Flashback Friday to where it all began. 🌻

These are the first four sets of mecate reins I ever made, back in 2018. No business name, no Etsy shop, just me, some paracord, and a feeling that I was onto something!

Eight years later, I'm still braiding, still growing, and still just as in love with this craft as I was the day I made these. It's funny how four little sets of reins can change the entire direction of your life. 🩵

Custom orders are open at KiraJuneBraids.Etsy.com. I'd love to make something special for you! 🐴🐾

When your husband's gear is so good you have to get your own set. 🤍

This wife watched her husband ride with his custom mecate reins and decided she wasn't going to wait any longer — she ordered a set just for her. Moss, Black, and Silver Grey is such a beautiful combination; bold and earthy with just enough contrast to really turn heads on trail or in the arena. 🐴

There's something really special about a returning customer. It tells me that the quality held up, the craftsmanship meant something, and that they trusted me with something they will use every single ride. That never gets old.

Custom mecate reins are available through at KiraJuneBraids.Etsy.com today! 🛒🛍️

Ever wonder what actually goes into your braid?

Paracord is a lightweight, incredibly strong nylon or polyester rope originally designed for parachutes, and it turns out it's pretty perfect for horses and dogs too. 🐴🐾

It's durable enough for daily use at the barn, weather resistant so it holds up in the elements, and comes in just about every color imaginable. The creative possibilities are basically endless! 🌈✨

Shop custom orders at KiraJuneBraids.Etsy.com today! I'd love to make something special for you and your animals.

Throwing it back to one of the very first leashes I ever made. 🌿

Green and silver on a plaid background; honestly not a bad start. Looking at this brings back a lot of memories of figuring things out, learning the braid, and falling in love with the process all over again. Every order since then has been a step forward, and I wouldn't trade any of it.

It's pretty cool to see how far things have come since this one. But the heart behind it has always been the same; something handmade, something that lasts, something worth being proud of.

If you've been thinking about a custom leash for your dog, I'd love to make one for you. Visit KiraJuneBraids.Etsy.com to get started. 🤍🐾
