Debbie and Roger Johnson started Riata Leather because they saw a need for higher quality products at a more affordable price. Having competed in the horse industry for years doing everything from roping to racing they knew the value of a quality piece of tack as well as the importance of strong sturdy leather and stitching. They use and test all their products on their beautiful ranch located in the picturesque Ozark Mountains. Roger uses Riata tack for his various competitions from ranch sorting to heeling and it holds up great. Visitors to their indoor riding arena enjoy trying the tack and find it great for all disciplines from barrel racing to roping and trail riding. Our Products are endorsed and used by World Champion Team Heeler Walt Woodard, so you know that these products are great for any level of competition.
We have hundreds of headstalls that are awesome for trail riding. You can choose any of our headstalls and they will last and hold up in competive trail classes as well as trail riding for fun. Many trail riders prefer our assorted decorative and rawhide braided headstalls for how easy they are to clean and maintain. Whatever your need, we have something just right for you to use while trail riding.
The Riata breast collar you choose depends on what kind of trail ride you plan on making. The wider breast collars are made for ropers but work very well for very rough and steep terrain as they distribute the pressure over a wider area. Our thinner type breast collars are for gentle trail riding and situations where light pressure will be put on the breast collar. Barrel racing, poles and trail riding over gentler ground is perfect for these types of breast collars as lighter weight is desirable. We have decorative breast collars that are perfect for any terrain and type of trail riding.
Our headstalls are all beautiful and well made with sturdy stitching and heavy American leather that makes them perfect for trail riding. At Riata we believe that beautiful, sturdy and affordable are great on the trail as well as the ring! We are happy to offer all of our beautiful pieces of tack at reasonable prices that will fit in any budget. See all of our great trail products at our website!
If Riata Leather Products Are So Great, Why Charge So Little?
We charge what we feel is a fair price, not as much as we feel we can get for the products. Because we can get more for it, doesn't mean we should charge more. We feel that trail riders need quality tack at affordable prices and we try to meet that need.
