Headstalls & Reins

Lets talk about headstalls, they are definitely used when riding, although some riders have the talent to ride without them, to the others out there like myself let me make some suggestions.
These are just a fraction of what is available out there.

BROW BANDS

There are an array of colors and designs to choose from with these, I've seen the ones that look like a patent leather, usually in the show rings, but you can use them for every day riding if you want to invest the money. They come in all different colors and color combination's. Most of the time a rider will coordinate their brown bands along with the saddle pad and dress attire.

SILVER TRIM

Again these are dressier kind of head stall, you can go as fancy as your pocket book allows you to or keep it to a subtle addition here and there. When using this style you definitely call attention to your horse and its rider.

HEADSTALL SETS

If your looking for your headstall and reins to match this is the way to go that way you have the matched colors with the leathers. To name a few you have braided with horsehair, twisted leather, basket weave, and don't forget the nylon headstalls, they match your saddle pad.


With these few selections listed take time to look at the many choices you have. Splurge a little if you can afford the fancier ones. Sometimes an onlooker will take another look at you and your horse.
