Are these horse related buckles? - SOLVED, buckle and chain link

[turtlefoot13]

Hi Everyone,

I went out and hunted one of the barns that I was given permission to hunt for about an hour or so. I found 6 1/2 horse shoes along with some horse tack that has some VERY brittle leather still attached. Anyway, I found these two items in the same area as the tack and I am assuming that they are horse related. I looked at the hardware on the stuff that has the leather attached and none is exact so I though I would double check. Thanks for your help. Also, is there any way to determine the approximate age of these or will I need to determine that by other finds in the same area?

Thanks again,
Doug

the ones on the right are not buckles, they're links to drive chains off farm equipment.
