✅ SOLVED Rein guide?

[K1DDO1979]

I dug many horse rein guides but this is different. It's a little smaller than the typical ones and has a metal flap on it that spins completely around. When it first came out full of dirt I was hoping it was a coin with it. Any idea of what it exactly is? Thanks! [emoji106]

I'd say reins guide with a lock/tension part. Cool!

You guys must be right. I just never seen one before. Thanks! [emoji2]

I remember them when I was younger. You didn't have to tie them off or pick them up from sliding back.

Thought I'd put up the picture from the thread you put up in case anyone's interested. Thanks again! [emoji106]

Another little bit of info on them that another guy found for me...
"By the middle of the 19th century, fly terrets (or swingers) became common on heavy horse harness. As the name implies, fly terrets were intended to discourage flies from bothering the horses, especially during the summer. While they were somewhat successful in dissuading flies, terrets also assumed a decorative role during the last half of the century."

I was just thinking about the same post while reading. Unlike you, I never could have found the thread! Well done Mojjax.

Thanks Kiddo, you added "identification" to "rein guide", I hadn't found the term "terretts" during my searches. Ah, the database expands!
