Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'slip ear' headstall, and is it secure for my horse?

A 'slip ear' or 'split ear' headstall features a single ear loop that slides over one of your horse's ears, offering more freedom and comfort by alleviating pressure on the forehead compared to traditional browband designs. While highly comfortable, this design typically lacks a throatlatch, meaning it provides less inherent security than a browband headstall. It is generally recommended for well-trained, experienced horses and may not be suitable for green or unruly horses where greater stabilization is required.

What type of bit should I use with this slip ear headstall?

Single ear (slip/split ear) headstalls are ideally suited for use with leverage bits, also known as curb or shanked bits. These bits apply downward pressure on the poll, which helps to stabilize the headstall and prevent it from slipping. Snaffle bits, which typically work best with browband headstalls that include a throatlatch for added security, are generally not recommended for use with slip ear headstalls.

Tell me more about the 'Guns and Roses' design.

The distinctive 'Guns and Roses' aesthetic is a key highlight of this headstall. It features unique, intricately detailed buckles that evoke the iconic rock band's imagery, often paired with elegant desert flower or rose tooling on the rich chocolate leather. This combination creates a stylish, bold, and unique look that allows riders to express their personality and stand out from the crowd with a statement piece.

How durable is this headstall, and what's the best way to care for it?

Crafted from premium, high-quality chocolate leather, this Cashel headstall is designed for exceptional durability and longevity, capable of withstanding daily use while retaining its aesthetic appeal. To ensure it remains in pristine condition and to extend its lifespan, we recommend regular cleaning with a quality leather cleaner and conditioning with a suitable leather conditioner. This will keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its beautiful finish.

Can I use this headstall for different riding activities?

Absolutely! This versatile headstall is designed to be a staple in your tack collection. Its elegant design and robust construction make it perfect for a variety of equestrian activities, including both focused training sessions and leisurely casual rides. It beautifully complements classic Western aesthetics, making it a great choice for riders who appreciate both functionality and traditional cowboy style.
