Martin Saddlery Rope Headsetter

The nose piece slips over the holder up into the horse's eyes unless you tape it really well in place. I bought 3 of these in 1 order and all 3 do the same thing so it's not just 1 faulty headsetter. I'm not happy with the quality but it does a really good job making the horse turn better if you tape the nose piece really well in place. My draw was being called to run at National Finals when I realized it had slipped up into my horses eyes so I had to take it off before I ran a really important run. I only used it once before that run so it's not like it was worn to cause it.

Love the product. Have used them many times through the years. No complaints here.

Great material. The knotts are a little small and allow the nose band to slip over them.

I’ve had this for years and love it. Easily adjustable and fits small to large heads. Does its job well.

It works perfect for my mare while used for training purposes! Would order again!

Works so well

Absolutely love this! Ordering another for my other mare.

Good product

It works good but it’s really hard to adjust

Nice tiedown. Works great, excellent quality.

Shipping was quick and it is now one of my most used pieces of tack between my herd of young horses. It is working great as a training tool for me! it was exactly as described

Martin needs to make the same tie down but with a steel nose piece. Leather on top of the nose piece but steel touching the nose. This can be used for a multitude of applications to include lunging young horses.

For Martin this seems cheaply made, especially to just be the head piece. Gets the job done, though.

All products worked great!!!

After breaking horses and getting them ready for the next step especially roping, I prefer this to a tiedown. It keeps control of their nose and also applies pressure on the pole. Most horses seem to except this better than going straight to a tiedown. It also can be used on a horse that likes to keep their head up high, and teaches them to lower their head to respectable level. They also cannot evade the bit with it which give you even more control as well. When turning corners sharp and fast the horse will also learn how to use it for balance just like a tiedown. Depending on the horse, after 3 weeks they may never need it again, on some horses I use it while roping only, others I’ve used one all the time.
