When to Buy a One Ear Headstall or Split Ear Headstall

The western headstall is one of the most important pieces of equipment a western rider needs to ride. Headstalls help the rider communicate with their horse using hand aids to give the horse specific directions. Here are some more in depth details about one ear headstalls and split ear headstalls:

One Ear Headstall

A one ear headstall has a crown with an adjustable loop that goes around one of the horse‘s ears. The single ear headstall is great for horses who are irritated by traditional western browbands. The one ear headstall often doesn't have a throat latch or noseband either. This allows the horse to be comfortable and move freely while wearing their one ear headstall. However, this single ear headstall may be less secure than other western bridle styles so it should not be used on green or unruly horses.

Split Ear Headstall

A split ear headstall, often misspelled as the slip ear headstall, has a browband with a single slit that goes around one of the horse's ears. The split ear headstall fits horses easily and is a perfect alternative for horses who don‘t like the one ear headstall because of the loop around their ear. The split ear headstall also lacks a throat latch or noseband so they are less secure than a traditional western bridle. These bridles should also not be used with green or unruly horses.

Frequently Asked Questions About One Ear and Split Ear Headstalls

What is a one ear headstall?

A one ear headstall is a bridle that has a loop around one of the horse's ears to secure the bridle in place. The loop keeps the crownpiece from slipping back too far, similar to what a browband does on English bridles.

What is the purpose of a one ear Headstall?

One ear headstalls can be beneficial for horses who may be irritated by a traditional browband. However, it is more common that riders choose to use one ear headstalls for stylistic reasons. Compared to other headstalls like the split ear headstall or the browband headstall, they are not as secure.

Can you use a snaffle with a one ear Headstall?

It is not recommended to use a snaffle bit with a one ear headstall as the bridle could slip off. If you are riding at home or trail riding you can use a snaffle bit if your bridle also comes with a throat latch. However, it is better to use a curb style bit with a one ear headstall.
