Frequently Asked Questions Is this one-ear headstall secure for all horses and bit types? The Professional's Choice Ranch One-Ear Headstall provides a secure fit when properly adjusted. However, due to its minimalist design, it's generally recommended for use with leverage or curb bits. It is not advised to use one-ear headstalls with snaffle bits, especially on active or green horses, as there is a higher risk of the bridle slipping off when significant rein pressure is applied. For maximum security, always ensure a snug, comfortable fit. Will a one-ear headstall be comfortable for my horse? Many horses find the one-ear design exceptionally comfortable, particularly those who are sensitive to pressure across the forehead or have aural plaques. It offers a less bulky and lighter feel. While some horses might initially find the single strap over the ear unfamiliar, proper fitting is key to preventing irritation. For most horses, this design provides freedom and reduces rubbing associated with traditional browbands. What makes this headstall so durable? Our headstall is crafted from premium ⅝” heavy oiled harness leather, specifically a single-ply 12 oz grade, known for its incredible strength and longevity. This high-quality leather, often sourced from renowned tanneries like Hermann Oak, is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use and harsh equestrian environments. Complementing this, the single adjust stainless steel buckle and hardware are chosen for their rust-resistant properties and robust construction, ensuring reliable performance for years to come. What are the main benefits of the minimalist one-ear design? The sleek, simple one-ear design offers several advantages. It's lightweight and contains fewer straps, reducing bulk on your horse's face. This design also significantly speeds up the bridling and unbridling process, making it incredibly convenient for quick tack changes. Aesthetically, it provides a clean, classic Western look that many riders prefer for its elegance and understated style. What riding disciplines is this headstall best suited for? The Professional's Choice Ranch One-Ear Headstall is a favorite among Western riders for disciplines such as ranch work, everyday trail riding, barrel racing, cutting, and reining. Its minimalist design and aesthetic appeal are perfect for these activities. While highly versatile within Western riding, its looser fit compared to browband bridles makes it less ideal for extensive long rides, situations requiring high-movement
