Shires Velociti Browband Headstall - Premium Leather Western Bridle

Classic Reliability for Every Ride

When you're working a green colt or navigating a tricky trail, the last thing you want to worry about is your gear shifting. The Shires Velociti Browband Headstall is designed for riders who value security and a traditional Western look without the fuss of complex hardware. Crafted from premium oiled harness leather, this headstall offers a supple feel right out of the box while maintaining the rugged durability needed for daily ranch work.

Shires has built this headstall to be a workhorse in your tack room. By choosing a browband style over a one-ear design, you ensure that your bridle stays exactly where it belongs, even if your horse decides to give a good shake or rub. It’s a dependable piece of equipment that bridges the gap between the training pen and the open range, from our barn to yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size horse does this headstall fit?

The Shires Velociti Browband Headstall comes in a standard Horse size. For the best fit, the browband measures approximately 16.7" (42.5 cm) to ensure it sits flat across the forehead without pulling the headpiece forward.

Q: Is the leather stiff when it arrives?

Not at all. This headstall is made from premium oiled leather, meaning it arrives supple and ready to use, though we always recommend a light conditioning after heavy use to keep it in top shape.

Q: How do I attach the bit?

This headstall uses traditional rawhide tie ends. Simply unlace the rawhide, slide your bit on, and retie it securely—no tools or replacement screws required.
