A Rugged Classic Built for the Working Ranch

The Professional's Choice Gunslinger 5/8" Roughout Headstall is designed for riders who need gear that works as hard as they do without sacrificing that classic western style. Whether you’re sorting cattle or hitting the trails, this headstall offers a "broken-in" feel right out of the box, thanks to its premium heavy-duty roughout leather construction.

We love how the tapered design balances a bold, heavy-duty look at the crown with a refined fit at the bit. It’s a piece of tack that actually looks better with a little dirt and sweat on it, making it a reliable staple for any working barn or performance trailer.

Why You’ll Love the Gunslinger Headstall

• Built for Long-Haul Durability. The heavy-duty roughout leather naturally resists scuffing and handles the rigors of daily ranch work or roping with ease.
• Precise, Customizable Fit. Double-buckle cheek adjustments allow you to dial in the perfect height for your bit, ensuring comfort for your horse across various head shapes.
• Effortless Bit Changes. Secure leather lace bit ties mean you can swap bits quickly at the trailer or hitching rail without ever needing to hunt for a screwdriver.
• Performance-Ready Hardware. The 5/8” copper and silver filigree buckles add a touch of "Gunslinger" flair that transitions perfectly from the ranch to the local performance ring.
• Stable Tapered Profile. The distinct 1 1/4” to 5/8” taper provides extra surface area at the crown for stability while maintaining a sleek, refined look near the horse's mouth.
