Hermann Oak harness leather is the industry standard for working tack — it's built to handle daily use and only gets more supple with time. The stainless steel hardware won't rust, and the rawhide lacing holds up to the elements when properly maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: How do I care for the rawhide lacing on this Martin Saddlery headstall?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the leather regularly with a quality saddle soap and condition the Hermann Oak leather to keep it flexible — that also protects the rawhide accents. Avoid soaking the rawhide; wipe it down if it gets muddy and let it dry naturally to preserve the lacing's integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Saddlery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46836942766301,"sku":"HB82SL","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_b901df65-9401-4e71-bd1a-23d3fc5d53e1.webp?v=1767104680","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/martin-saddlery-rawhide-laced-chocolate-browband-headstall-chocolate","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
