dirtclod Report post Posted June 28, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billy H Report post Posted December 27, 2014 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Ashman Report post Posted December 29, 2014 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!
