Bolo Tie Handmade in Mexico

Horse Head with Turquoise & Coral

Well butter my biscuit, this bolo’s a looker. The oval slide sports a proud horse head ridin’ high over a dark backdrop, with a sky-blue “turquoise” cab and a spicy coral dot keepin’ it company. Finished with a black braided cord and long tapered tips, it’ll class up your pearl snaps faster than a jackrabbit on hot gravel.
