For Horse People: One Ear Headstalls - Advice, Please

Recommended Posts

I'm working on a headstall and I've come up with a design questions. I'm hoping folks who have used one ear headstalls can give me some advice.

Now, I've used a one ear... but some of them have two, one ear parts - if you see what I mean - and I've never used one of those. The lady wants this for her show horse. It's to have two, one ear parts on it. I was thinking of having these hooked together right in the middle at the top of the poll. Will this in any way affect the functionality of the headstall? Or would I be better off making the two one ear parts totally separate from each other, so that they could be moved to fit each ear?

I'd sure appreciate any advice folks might have. I want her to be very happy with her headstall, but as I say I myself have never used a headstall exactly like this, so I am not sure about how it will work out. Thanks!

Make them separate. On a lot of horses there can be +/- 1inch gap.

definitely separate in case she every needs to adjust for a different horse.
