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 Smith’s 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 wasn’t 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 that’s made to last, every piece reflects the lessons Stran learned both inside and outside the arena— it’s not just about the wins, it’s 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.
