Weaver STS Ranch Signature Tack Harness Leather Split Ear Headstall

Crafted from oiled Canyon Rose harness leather, dressed with saddle butter and hand rubbed, this split ear headstall delivers a clean, minimalist feel with classic construction and lasting performance. Choose from three exclusive buckle styles, each named after one of World Champion Tie-Down Roper Stran T Smiths most memorable horses. Stran T Smith built his career on grit, resilience, and perseverance. Raised on a ranch in the rugged terrain of the Texas Panhandle, he became a World Champion Tie-Down Roper, a ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee, and an 11-time NFR qualifier. But it wasnt just the victories that shaped him, it was the setbacks and the comebacks. After winning a world championship following a stroke, heart surgery, and career-threatening injuries, Stran stopped chasing gold buckles. He turned his focus to building a family and STS Ranch, a brand focused on faith, integrity, quality and purpose. It was a change of mission that redefined what success really meant. That philosophy drives STS Ranch Signature Tack, built in partnership with Weaver Equine and handcrafted in the USA. Designed for riders who value integrity, hard work, and gear thats made to last, every piece reflects the lessons Stran learned both inside and outside the arena its not just about the wins, its about how you ride through the challenges, and what you can count on along the way. A buckle can say a lot. Like World Champion, for example. But the buckles on these headstalls say Stran wanted a personal tie to this tack collection, something to honor the horses that shaped his career.

Known for his big heart and no-nonsense reliability, Jennifer, Strans future wife at the time, was riding Ranger when Stran proposed to her. Rangers registered name, Texas Ranger, reflected his nature strong, dependable, and stoic. The Ranger buckle is a plain 1 Inch stainless steel cart buckle. No frills. No flash. Just here to get the job done, steady and honest, like the horse it was named after. Jessie: Jessie was the smart, feminine mare Stran rode during his first year qualifying for the NFR. Jessie had a kindness and honesty Stran loved so much, he looked for the same qualities in a wife. You remind me of my horse, was about the highest compliment he could pay a woman, and Strans wife, Jennifer, didnt mind at all. Stran retired Jessie early, valuing her heart and spirit more than her continued competition career. The Jessie buckle and matching keeper is buff black with an engraved silver floral design, beautiful and hardworking, like the mare who inspired it. Rifleman: Rifleman, registered Kiddo Doc, had as much personality as any horse Stran ever owned. Bold, moody, but steady and reliable when it mattered most, Rifleman helped Stran win his first professional rodeo in Vernon, Texas. Voted 1997 AQHA Horse of the Year, Rifleman was a strong-minded character who fit Stran perfectly, both on the ground and in the arena. The Rifleman buckle with matching keeper is buff black with simple, classic engraved silver accents. Like the horse, it shines in the spotlight, but is built for strength and function.
