A Reliable Workhorse for Your Training String

Starting a colt or working through a young horse's education requires gear that stays put and communicates clearly. The Professional's Choice Burgundy Training Headstall Lariat is built exactly for those long days in the round pen and the arena. It provides the stability you need when the stakes are high and the horse is still learning the ropes.

We know that standard gear doesn't always cut it when you're looking for that perfect bit response. This headstall combines the rugged durability of a 5/16 inch burgundy lariat rope browband and crown with the supple, sweat-resistant feel of 5/8 inch latigo leather cheeks. It is a piece of equipment designed to handle the sweat and grit of daily training without losing its integrity, from our barn to yours.

Why This Headstall Belongs in Your Tack Room

• Precision Bit Placement: Featuring 1/2 inch incremental adjustments, this headstall allows you to find the exact height for your bit, ensuring clear communication with sensitive or green horses.
• Rugged Material Blend: The combination of 5/16 inch burgundy lariat rope and 5/8 inch latigo leather offers a workhorse durability that stands up to heavy daily use and resists sweat damage.
• Enhanced Security: The classic browband design is more secure than a one-ear headstall, preventing young or fussy horses from rubbing or shaking the bridle off during groundwork or early rides.
• Quick Bit Changes: Designed with practical training in mind, the latigo cheeks make it easy to swap bits as your horse progresses through different stages of their education.
• Professional Quality: Built by Professional's Choice, a brand trusted by top trainers for gear that performs under pressure and lasts for the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size horse does this headstall fit?

The Professional's Choice Burgundy Training Headstall Lariat comes in a Standard Horse size, but its 1/2 inch adjustment holes make it highly versatile for a wide range of head shapes and sizes.

Q: Why use lariat rope for a headstall?

Lariat rope is incredibly durable and maintains its shape well, providing a lightweight yet sturdy feel that won't stretch out over time, even with heavy use in the ranch environment.

Q: Is the leather pre-oiled?

The burgundy latigo leather is naturally high in oils, making it supple and weather-resistant right out of the box, though we always recommend a light conditioning to keep it at its best for years to come.
