✅ SOLVED Something for a horse?

[farmgirl]

I found this on a farm. It is heavy and the two pieces do move. It is approx. 6 inches long. Any ideas of what it went to or did?

For some reason, I think it has to do with a horse bridle.

And you would be absolutely correct. It is a part of the bridle by which sections of the leather are connected to the bit. The ends of the bit (or middle) join in the small hole of two of these, and the large ring on the other end is connected to bridle leather. It is called a jointed snaffle. The one from the other side may be nearby.

Yes, snaffle bit, used for driving horses, and breaking colts.

I love your signature, I quote from someone I forget who, "Remain calm, return fire." I too find a relic every morning in the mirror.
