Traditional Rawhide Braiders 4 Plait Reata

4 Plait Riata- Argentinian style Hand-braided riata from premium cowhide rawhide, this riata measures 60 to 65 feet (20 meters) in length with an approximate 3/8” diameter, offering the perfect weight and balance for skilled ropers. It features a traditional 4-plait braid, ideal for rugged everyday use, with thicker strings that hold up under pressure—just as the early vaqueros intended. A stainless steel honda on one end ensures durability and smooth action, while a rawhide loop at the opposite end stays true to classic design. Riatas like this require more finesse and experience to handle than modern nylon or poly ropes, but the reward is in the feel—subtle, responsive, and alive in the hand. Whether you’re working cattle on the range or collecting a piece of authentic cowboy gear, this reata delivers time-tested reliability with a deep respect for tradition.
