Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Burgundy leather bleed?
High-quality Latigo leather, like that used in this headstall, can occasionally transfer dye to a horse’s coat when it becomes wet or sweaty. Many riders choose to use a leather sealant or a light vinegar rinse before the first use to help "set" the color.

Is the "Quick Change" end secure?
Yes, the Professional’s Choice Quick Change system is highly rated for security. The sliding loop is designed to stay tight over the bit end during use, providing a safe connection without the risk of screws backing out.

How do I clean the Roughout leather?
Unlike smooth leather, roughout should not be heavily oiled, as this will flatten the texture. To maintain the "rough" look, use a wire brush or a specialized suede cleaner to lift dirt and sweat from the fibers.

What is the sizing like?
This model is sized for the "Average Horse." However, thanks to the double-buckle adjustment on the cheeks, it offers significant versatility to fit smaller-headed horses or larger breeds like Warmbloods.

Are there matching reins or breast collars available?
Yes! This headstall is part of a coordinated collection. You can find matching Professional’s Choice Burgundy Roughout breast collars and split reins to complete your set.

Are the tassels removable?
On this specific model, the tassels are integrated into the scalloped cheek design and are not intended to be removed. They are a permanent stylistic feature of the headstall.
