This is a custom braided TWISTED Rawhide Reata. It is 52 feet in length. It has a finely braided two tone rawhide Hondo on the Reata. It is meant to be used for heading or heeling cattle while branding or working on a ranch. It is brand new. I have never roped with it. It has been treated with Vaquero Rawhide cream a few times. It is still new and stiff .
