Weaver Horizons Rolled Sliding Ear Headstall, Gold, Horse Size

A Horse-size Weaver Horizons headstall in Gold, with a rolled sliding ear, adjustable cheeks and Chicago screw bit ends.

A simple everyday headstall

This Weaver Horizons headstall is made from single-ply 5/8-inch harness leather. Its rolled sliding ear is doubled and stitched, giving the ear piece a rounded profile while keeping the construction straightforward. The Gold option is a warm brown leather color. The Horse size is intended for a full-size horse bridle setup; check the fit on the individual horse rather than relying on size labels alone.

Adjust the cheek pieces evenly

Double cheek adjustments let the bridle be set to the horse’s head and the chosen bit. Make changes in small increments on both sides, then check that the headstall lies evenly and the bit rests at the intended height. The rolled ear should sit comfortably behind the poll without twisting. Leather can soften with use, so recheck buckle holes and adjustment after the first rides.

Chicago screw bit ends

The bit ends use Chicago screws. These threaded fasteners make the attachment removable when changing a bit or cleaning the bridle. Check that both screws are fully seated before riding and inspect them as part of a regular tack check. The ends should hold the bit securely without leaving loose hardware that can rub or catch.

Leather and hardware care

The single-ply leather keeps this design lighter and less layered than a doubled headstall. Its harness leather is described as weather resistant, though routine drying and storage still matter after wet use. Wipe off sweat and dirt, allow damp leather to dry naturally, and condition it with a product suited to harness leather. Avoid leaving leather tack in a wet tack room or sealed bag, where moisture can remain against the material.

Good to know

Nickel-plated hardware gives the headstall a bright metal finish, while the brown leather and rolled ear keep the look traditional. This is a headstall, not a complete bridle: the listing identifies the headstall body and bit ends, with no reins included in the product description. Pair it with compatible reins and a bit that suit the horse and riding discipline. Inspect stitching around the ear and cheek adjustments, plus the leather near each screw end, before each ride.
