Weaver Leather Working Cowboy Headstall

This headstall is built specifically for rugged use. The harness leather is oil-dipped and hand-rubbed with saddle butter, which helps it resist sweat and moisture while maintaining a supple, durable feel over time.

Yes, water ties are a traditional, reliable choice for ranch work. They provide a secure, low-profile attachment that is less likely to snag on brush than bulky buckles, though they do require a bit more time to change bits.

The antique nickel plating is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, but like any metal hardware, it should be wiped down after heavy use to prevent buildup. The finish is chosen for its classic, non-reflective look that suits a working ranch aesthetic.

It features standard adjustment points to accommodate most average-sized horses. However, because it is a single-ear design, it offers less adjustability than a browband headstall, so it is best suited for horses with standard head proportions.

Because it is pre-treated with oil and saddle butter, the leather arrives with a supple, broken-in feel right out of the box. You shouldn't experience the stiffness common with new, untreated tack.
