Experience the Broken-In Comfort of the Professional's Choice Heavy Oil 1-Ear Headstall

There is nothing quite like the feel of quality harness leather that has already been put to work. The Professional's Choice Heavy Oil 1-Ear Headstall with Rawhide accents is designed to bypass that stiff "new leather" phase, offering a supple, hand-rubbed finish that feels great in your hands and even better on your horse from the very first ride.

Constructed from 5/8" single-ply harness leather, this headstall is treated with a rich blend of tallows and oils. This traditional process does more than just make the leather soft; it creates a weather-resistant barrier that stands up to the sweat, dust, and long hours of ranch work or performance training. From the raw-hide accents to the durable hardware, it is built for the long haul.

Key Features & Benefits

• Immediate Suppleness: The heavy oil treatment ensures the 5/8" harness leather is soft and flexible right out of the box, preventing the rubbing and discomfort often caused by stiff new tack.
• Perfectly Balanced Fit: Featuring a double-buckle adjustment, you can ensure the bit sits perfectly level in your horse's mouth by adjusting both sides symmetrically.
• Effortless Buckling: Designed with oval-punched holes, this headstall allows the buckles to slide into place easily, saving you time and frustration when tacking up in the barn.
• Weather-Resistant Durability: The hand-rubbed oils protect the leather fibers from moisture and salt, ensuring this piece remains a reliable staple in your tack room for years.
• Traditional Western Style: The rawhide accents on the single-ear loop provide a classic, professional look suitable for reining, cutting, or everyday ranch work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this Professional's Choice 1-Ear Headstall with a snaffle bit?

While you can physically attach one, one-ear headstalls are traditionally designed for use with leverage bits (shank bits). Because there is no throatlatch or browband, the downward pressure of a leverage bit helps keep the ear loop secure during performance or ranch work.

Q: What size horse does this headstall fit?

This is sized for the "Average Horse." However, the double-buckle adjustment offers a wide range of sizing flexibility to accommodate most Quarter Horses and similar breeds comfortably.
