Crafted from oiled Canyon Rose harness leather and finished with saddle butter, this split ear headstall is hand-rubbed for a rich, broken-in feel from day one. Clean lines, classic construction and durable materials come together for long-lasting performance with a timeless, minimalist look.

Stran T. Smith built his legacy on grit, resilience and perseverance. Raised on a ranch in the rugged Texas Panhandle, he rose to become a World Champion Tie-Down Roper, ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee and 11-time NFR qualifier. Yet it wasn’t just the victories that defined him—it was the setbacks, recoveries and comebacks along the way.

After winning a world title following a stroke, heart surgery and career-threatening injuries, Stran shifted his focus from chasing gold buckles to building a life centered on family and purpose. That mission became STS Ranch, a brand rooted in faith, integrity and quality—values that continue to shape everything bearing his name.

That same philosophy drives STS Ranch Signature Tack, handcrafted in the USA in partnership with Weaver Equine. Designed for riders who value honest workmanship and gear they can rely on, every piece reflects the lessons learned both in and out of the arena. It’s not just about winning—it’s about how you ride through the challenges and what you trust along the way.

The buckles on this headstall tell their own story. Each option honors one of the horses that helped define Stran’s career. Choose from three exclusive buckle styles—Destiny, Topper or Ranger—for a personal connection to the legacy behind the tack.
