HILASON Western Leather Horse Headstall for Riding & Training Adjustable Premium Leather Bridle Headstall with Hardware

Yes. The straps on this western leather headstall are cut from leather, which is why they flex as they break in and darken slightly with use. The browband is a braided leather section, and the bit ends carry turquoise-tone stone accents with engraved metal conchos. Condition the leather a few times a season to keep it supple and to slow cracking in dry climates.

This headstall fits through adjustment rather than fixed sizing. Buckle the cheek straps so the bit sits where your horse carries it comfortably, then adjust each side evenly so the browband clears the ears and nothing pinches. Because the cheek straps have multiple adjustment points, the same western leather headstall usually works across a range of horse head sizes.

No. This listing covers the headstall itself, so you attach your own bit and reins. The bit ends accept a standard bit and the leather ties secure the connection. If you are building a bridle from scratch, fit the bit first, then recheck cheek strap length so the bit sits at the correct height before you ride.

Yes. This horse headstall is built for western riding, ranch work, horse training, trail riding, rodeo events and everyday exercise. Riders use it on finished bridle horses and on young horses learning to accept the bit, so it works well if you ride several different horses through the week and want one dependable headstall in the barn.

Wipe the leather down with a damp cloth after sweaty or wet rides, then let it air dry away from direct heat. Apply a leather conditioner two or three times a season, working around the turquoise-tone stone accents and engraved conchos rather than soaking them. Storing the headstall hanging rather than crumpled keeps the cheek straps from taking a permanent bend.
