The Mustang Heritage Oiled Harness Leather Headstall claims its position by using heavy oiled harness leather that resists wear and absorbs maintenance treatments for decades of hard ranch service, a technical advantage for riders who prioritize longevity over up-front savings. Though it typically carries a higher initial cost than synthetic or lightweight headstalls, its long-term durability and classic look make it a better financial value for heavy-use ranchers compared with thinner or purely decorative alternatives.
