Weaver Leather Texas Star Browband Headstall with Throatlatch

Rock-Solid Stability Meets Classic Texas Style

The Weaver Leather Texas Star Browband Headstall solves the number one frustration with one-ear designs: slipping. The full browband and integrated throatlatch keep your bridle exactly where you need it, ride after ride — whether you're schooling a green horse, navigating steep trails, or competing in Western Pleasure. The iconic 18-karat gold-plated Texas Star conchos and nickel-brass spots give you that show-ring look without sacrificing the everyday durability Weaver is known for.

Built from premium 5/8" doubled and stitched leather, this headstall breaks in fast but stays strong for years. Stainless steel hardware won't rust out after sweaty rides or wet weather, and the double-cheek adjustments let you dial in perfect bit placement for your horse's comfort and responsiveness. From our barn to yours, this is the headstall that works as hard as you do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size horse does this headstall fit?

This Weaver Leather Texas Star Browband Headstall is designed in a standard Horse size, which typically fits horses ranging from 14.2 to 16 hands. The double-cheek adjustments let you fine-tune the fit for most average-sized heads, giving you flexibility to accommodate variations in face shape and length.

Q: How do I keep the gold-plated conchos looking sharp?

Wipe the 18k gold-plated Texas Star conchos with a soft, dry cloth after each ride to remove dust and sweat. Avoid harsh silver polishes or chemical cleaners that can strip the plating. A quick wipe-down is all you need to keep them shining for years.

Q: Is this headstall secure enough for trail riding?

Absolutely. The browband and throatlatch design provides significantly more stability than a one-ear or slip-ear style, preventing the headstall from slipping off if your horse shakes their head, rubs on a branch, or gets spooky on the trail. It's a safer, more reliable choice for variable terrain and unpredictable situations.
