I'm stumped Again! Help

I found this little brass ball. It measures 3/4 inch wide and has an attached loop and a small hole right under the loop.

It is hollow but still is hefty in weight. Any ideas?

Oh, and it doesn't rattle, and there does not appear to be anything inside it.

That looks like a Russian kettlebell for a really small body builder.
Or you could have really big hands.
(Sorry)

What are those thingamabobs called that they strap on horses ankles for training purposes ... Small weights on a strap that knocks against their hooves .. used to train the horse to prance and dance.

Those are horse hoof dance and prance knockers. That darn thing looks familiar but I just can't place it. Sorry I can't help but now I am curious too. M nty

Think you're correct...

I once had an Appy that would throw her head back and try to head butt me...caught me a few times too...

Tied a similar weight to the brow strap with about a 3 inch strap so it sat loosely between her eyes...and whenever she threw her head the weight would knock her a good one on her forehead...

After a couple of times...she never tried that stunt again...

It certainly could be that. I found it at an area that was settled by a group of people who came to Texas from New York in the 1890's.

Possibly circus people. Really!
