Billy Royal® Mckenzie Two-Ear Silver Show Headstall

This headstall adjusts from 35 inches to 41 inches bit end to bit end, making it suitable for most horses and some ponies. The 5/8 inch wide crown and cheeks are proportioned for average to large horse heads. If your horse falls outside this range or you're unsure, we recommend measuring your current headstall or consulting with us before purchasing.

Yes, this headstall is crafted from premium Grade A bridle leather, which is the highest quality leather used in fine tack. Grade A bridle leather is durable, supple, and develops a beautiful patina over time with proper care, making it an excellent investment for a show headstall.

The headstall features hand-engraved Alpaca silver plate accents on the ears, cheeks, and buckles, complemented by silver tubes and ferrules along the rolled ears and cheeks. A clear nickel coating is applied over the silver plating to help resist scratching and tarnishing, keeping your tack looking show-ready.

While this headstall is designed as a premium show piece with its refined hand-tooled details and polished silver accents, the durable Grade A bridle leather and sewn-in construction make it suitable for regular use. However, many owners reserve elegant headstalls like this for show ring competition to preserve their appearance and maximize their lifespan.

The clear nickel coating over the silver plating helps protect against scratching and tarnishing, reducing maintenance needs. For regular care, simply wipe down the silver accents with a soft cloth after use, and clean the leather with appropriate leather conditioner to keep it supple and beautiful.

This headstall uses matching Chicago screw conchos to secure the bit attachments, which is a common and reliable method for Western tack. The sewn-in hourglass cheek buckles measure 1 3/4 inches wide by 2 1/4 inches tall and are designed to work with standard Western bits.
