Clear Communication Without the Bit

When you are starting a young horse or trying to soften an older one, the Professional's Choice Ranch Heavy Oil Side Pull Lariat provides the precise, crisp communication you need. This isn't just another piece of training tack; it is a bridge to a better handle, designed to give you lateral control without the pressure of a bit in the mouth.

Crafted from premium heavy oiled harness leather, this side pull is built for the long haul. The leather comes pre-conditioned to resist the elements and feels supple from day one, so you can skip the frustrating break-in period and get straight to work in the arena or out on the ranch.

Why This Side Pull Belongs in Your Tack Room

• Ready to Ride Out of the Box. The heavy oiled harness leather is deeply conditioned to resist weather and sweat, ensuring it stays soft and durable through years of use.
• Crisp Lateral Cues. The lariat rope nosepiece provides the perfect amount of "bite" to encourage your horse to follow their nose without the harshness of metal.
• Balanced and Centered Fit. With a double buckle adjustment, you can ensure the headstall is perfectly centered on your horse's face for clear, even communication.
• Professional Grade Durability. Built by Professional's Choice, this side pull features heavy-duty hardware and reinforced stitching designed for daily ranch use.
• Versatile Training Solution. It is the ideal tool for transitioning colts to the bridle or giving a bit-weary horse a fresh start with bitless pressure.

Best For

Western riders and trainers looking for a durable, bitless communication tool to start colts or refine lateral movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size does this side pull come in?

The Professional's Choice Ranch Heavy Oil Side Pull Lariat is designed in a standard "Average Horse" size. Thanks to the double buckle adjustment on the headstall, it can be easily adjusted to fit most Quarter Horses, Paints, and similar stock breeds.

Q: How should the noseband sit for the best results?

For clear communication and safety, the lariat noseband should typically be adjusted to sit about two fingers below the horse's cheekbone. This ensures the pressure is applied to the nose rather than the sensitive lower bridge.

Q: Is the leather stiff when it arrives?

Not at all. Because this is made from heavy oiled harness leather, it arrives with a broken-in feel that is weather-resistant and ready for the trail or the pen immediately.
