Professional's Choice Burgundy Latigo Turned Ear Headstall

Stay Secure Through Every Lateral Move Without the Bulk

When you're working cattle or schooling patterns, the last thing you need is a headstall that shifts, pinches, or pulls your horse's focus. The Professional's Choice Burgundy Latigo Turned Ear Headstall delivers rugged reliability with an ergonomic design that cradles the ear naturally — no bulk on the poll, no chafing behind the jaw. Premium burgundy latigo leather arrives pre-treated for that broken-in feel from day one, so you skip the stiff, uncomfortable break-in period.

Built for riders who demand durability without sacrificing comfort, this headstall features riveted construction at every stress point and hand-rubbed edges that eliminate hot spots during long rides. The rust-resistant nickel hardware and traditional lace bit ties give you a clean Western look with functional simplicity — quick bit changes, no metal interference, and a communicative connection with your horse. From the practice pen to the ranch, this is tack you can count on for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this headstall hold up to daily ranch work and training?

Yes. The Professional's Choice Burgundy Latigo Headstall is built specifically for the rigors of daily use, with riveted construction that outlasts stitched tack in high-pressure environments. The sweat-resistant latigo leather maintains its integrity and rich color through years of heavy arena and trail work.

Q: How do I get the right fit for my horse?

This headstall is sized for standard horses (800–1,100 lbs). The double buckle adjustments with closely spaced 1/2" holes let you fine-tune both bit height and crown length for a secure, non-slip fit. Start with the middle holes and adjust from there based on your horse's head shape.

Q: What's the advantage of lace bit ties over buckles?

Lace ties eliminate metal hardware near the bit, giving you a cleaner, more direct connection with your horse's mouth. They also make bit changes faster and easier — just unlace, swap the bit, and re-tie. Many trainers prefer this setup for its simplicity and lack of interference.
