Buckaroo Leather is honored and excited to have horse trainer Justin Dunn and his horse Cinnamon Girl use our sidepull bitless bridle to compete at the Mustang Magic Makeover.

Mustang Magic will return to the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo in Fort Worth, Texas on January 24-26 2013.

The Mustang Heritage Foundation, in cooperation with the BLM, created this Extreme Mustang Makeover event in order to recognize and highlight the value of Mustangs through a national training competition. This event gives the public a unique opportunity to see the results of wild horses becoming trained mounts. The purpose of the Extreme Mustang Makeover is to showcase the beauty, versatility and trainability of the rugged horses that roam freely on public lands throughout the West, where they are protected by the BLM under Federal law.

This Extreme Mustang Makeover competition will feature 20 wild Mustangs and trainers, like Justin, from across the country to compete for a purse of $10,000.  Competitions like Handling & Conditioning, Compulsory Maneuvers, Trail and Reining Pattern classes and a Freestyle Finals performance. 

And the most exciting part is at the end of the competition all competing Mustangs will be up for adoption by the public through competitive bids on Saturday, January 26th.

Buckaroo Leather looks forward to working with Justin in the future and we wish him good luck in this Mustang competition.

Justin and many other horse trainers like him use the bitless bridle in competition and every day riding. Justin has many years of experience using the sidepull and has been very successful in training and communicating with horses, especially the American Mustang.

Originally the sidepull bridle was designed as a training headstall and to give some relief from the bit when needed. Many riders are using them now in everyday riding, once they, and their horse, have been trained, evaluated and or advised by a professional trainer, like Justin.

Buckaroo Leather offers many styles of the bitless bridles. All our leather horse tack is hand crafted here in the U.S. Buckaroo Leather loves to do custom orders too!

How to use Sidepull Headstalls.........

Side Pull Headstalls (aka "Bitless Bridle") are used as pictured,
without a bit, and are becoming very
popular in the training arena and for the
experienced trail horse and rider.

Watch Video below

Many Trainers have found the side pull
headstall great for horses who do not
except a bit very well and are fussy
and tense and unable to relax and learn….

It is also excellent for horses that have been
injured in their mouth or sensitive due to
harsh training conditions.

The side pull is fast becoming the choice
in early stages of ground driving and teaching
the basics of turning and stopping.

A Quality leather side pull headstall or bridle
as you see pictured, is designed for the reins
to connect to the rings on each side of the
horses cheeks allowing the rider to communicate
very clearly left and right…….


Different nosebands are available depending on
how much pressure you want to excerpt on their
nose. The single lariat rope nose gives the most
in a narrow area across the nose. The double
rope spreads the pressure out. The flat leather
nose gives the least amount of pressure for the
more trained and experienced horse…..

Trainers in the Natural Horsemanship arenas
have been using different types of side pull
headstalls for a long time…….

We at Buckaroo Leather offer all sizes from
cob/ small hose to large horse/mule and
draft sizes.....

A Hackamore Bridle to Demand.......

This is the quality AMERICAN made western leather
hackmore bridle you hear about from the cutters warming
up their horses before a competition and anyone
wanting a bitless hackamore bridle to get out
of their horses mouth....

Some horsemen and women call it a loping hackamore...

Some horses need a break from the bit for many reasons
so some folks are finding their horse is more comfortable
and works better without a bit....

This is a round caveson hackamore designed to
fit low on your horse's nose and, because it is round,
it works more like a sidepull than a hackamore.

It has our working 3/4" harness leather double cheek
adjustment headstall with a hand braided fiador (throat latch),
which is adjustable to hold the fine quality
braided rawhide noseband-caveson in position.
And the fiador is important because it works like a throat latch
and is connected to the noseband so if you lead off your
horse the noseband will not pull off their nose.....

We make it with a high quality 5/8"-8' soft nylon
split rein w/poppers for that brokin feel RW330.
Also available with cotton reins.
