Head Stalls and Halters made by Crest Ridge Saddlery

Crest Ridge Saddlery offers an assortment of high quality leather head stalls and halters especially designed for your gaited horse or mule. Just add your bit and a set of high quality Crest Ridge quick-attaching reins to make a stylish, safe bridle for your gaited horse or mule.  All of our gaited horse and mule tack is made from chrome-tanned, drum-dyed leather with stainless steel hardware. 

  • Chrome tanning uses chromium sulfate and other salts of chromium to create a strong yet supple leather. It is more supple and pliable than vegetable-tanned leather. Our premium chrome-tanned leather does not discolor or lose shape as drastically in water as the more common vegetable or alum-tanned leathers.

  • Drum-dying ensures a deep, long-lasting, uniform color to the leather.  We offer black, brown and show brown drum-dyed leathers.  Some styles are also available in mahogany.

  • Our high-grade stainless steel hardware will not rust and does not break, even with hard use.

  • We use waxed reinforced thread for superior durability.
