One Ear Headstall

[Double U Leather]

Here's another item out of the shop. It's a floral tooled, one ear headstall that's a birthday present for a call roper in TX. It's the second headstall like this I've made. The other one was black dyed background for a blue roan horse, this one is brown dyed background and edges for a bay horse. Can't wait to see how it looks on the horse. I also learned a little on this one, and will have a little better design idea for the next one. As always, let me know what you think. Be blessed.

I love this style! As a horse person, I would be proud to sport it at any rodeo or roping!

Cool looking work. I only see a couple things I'd change. I like the floral tooling to go down the cheeks rather than up, but that's a personal preference. I would also round off the bit ends or at least chip off those square corners.

Bruce,

Thanks for the input. I guess I never really thought either way about the flowers growing up or down the cheeks. Now that I think of it, I think I'd prefer 'em to go up since a flower growing down might be dead....LOL. I might try havin' 'em go the other direction on the next one just to see.

I see what you're getting at on the square corners at the bit end. A rounded or chipped off corner would look a whole lot better. I'm filing that bit of info away for the next one. Thanks for the pointer.

I appreciate your comments. I view you as one of the masters around here. You do awesome work, and you're a good guy. Thanks again.
