CANE FIELD BANDITS and IRON BRIGADE MEMBER
Found several of these...wondered what they were
OK, I thought this might be a saddle pommel, but now I'm thinking it's not. Rodeo recon dug the last one of these up, pictured below.
So what is the term for this thing? It is horse or ox-related, right?
Thanks in Advance,
Buckleboy

It's those things on the tips of the thinggys draft horses use for tack... LOL...
I'll find a picture... or, well this post to help.
I think it's a hame off a pulling harness.
I'm prolly wrong, and yours looks a little different.

Maybe this is the ox yoke one, due to the curve of the item? I'm trying to find a photo now--after seeing the ox yoke drawing in the link you gave, the shape looks right...

It's a hame knob.Hames are wood or metal clamps that fasten around a horse collar as attachment points for traces that transfer a horse's pushing force into 'pulling power' to attached equiptment.
In my area oxen were yoked in pairs in hand hewn wooden yokes with no decorative hardware.
