Here are two headstalls I buttoned up this week. I'm pretty happy how they turned out.

Thanks for looking, Josh

Your headstalls look great. I'd take the cattle panel down put boards in because when your horse rolls their going to get a foot or feet stuck through it and it's gonna be a job to get them out.

They look really nice Josh!

Must have missed your post. What did you use for leather ?

I have not made a Headstall yet but would like to try. Billy

Thanks Billy!

I believe those were 8oz with a 4oz backer on the cheeks and browband and around 10oz on the throat latch. All HO veg tan then oiled pretty heavily and followed with a good rub down of Aussie Wax then set in the sun to soak it in.

I never wanted to make headstalls until I got a sewing machine. The thought of all of the sewing kept me away from wanting to make lined ones and the thought of buying a harness or bridal side kept me from wanting to make unlined ones. These seem to work pretty well and my wife talked me onto a getting a 12oz bridle side which also works quite nicely for unlined headstalls.

All the best and happy New Year!

Josh
