Premium Double-Layer Slip-Ear Leather Headstall – Western Horse Tack with Stainless Steel Hardware

This slip-ear headstall is made for riders who prefer the unmistakable look of Western tack with a more substantial leather build. The design keeps the visual focus on the horse's head and the natural character of the leather, while stainless steel fittings provide the dependable hardware needed for regular riding.

The slip-ear configuration is the defining characteristic. Instead of a browband crossing the forehead, the headstall uses an ear loop for a distinctive Western appearance. It gives the bridle a clean, open look and pairs naturally with everything from everyday trail tack to more coordinated Western setups.

The Difference Is in the Leather

This isn't a lightweight strip of leather. The headstall is constructed using two layers of leather, giving it added substance and a firmer overall feel.

That extra layer makes the headstall particularly suitable for riders who prefer durable tack for repeated use. The leather also has the traditional quality that makes Western tack look better with age when it is cleaned and conditioned properly.

Hardware That Handles Everyday Riding

The leather is complemented by stainless steel hardware.

The bright metal gives the headstall a neat, contemporary finish while providing practical resistance to corrosion. Whether you're riding in the arena, heading down a trail, or working with your horse regularly, the hardware is designed for the demands of everyday tack use.

Keep the Rest of Your Tack in Focus

Some Western headstalls are heavily decorated and can dominate an entire tack setup.

This one takes a different direction.

Its restrained design allows the double leather construction and stainless steel fittings to create the visual appeal. That makes it particularly easy to match with tooled saddles, plain leather saddles, decorative breast collars, or everyday Western reins.

A Useful Choice Beyond the Show Ring

The headstall isn't restricted to one type of riding.

Use it as part of a daily training setup, take it along for weekend trail rides, or combine it with coordinated Western tack for pleasure riding. Its traditional styling gives you plenty of flexibility without requiring a separate headstall for every occasion.

Fit Before You Ride

A headstall should sit securely without being unnecessarily tight around the horse's ears or cheeks. Adjust the available leather fittings to achieve the correct position, then check the bit connection and hardware before riding.

Because horses differ in head shape, proper individual fitting is always recommended.

Looking After the Leather

Wipe away sweat, dust, and dirt after use. A quality leather conditioner can be applied periodically to keep the leather supple and help prevent drying.

Store the headstall somewhere dry and away from excessive heat. If it becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally rather than using direct heat.
