Barnyard Basics: Horse brasses: A bit of ancient history

Horse brasses are traditional decorations on draft horse harnesses, hanging from the top of the headstall, against the horse’s forehead. These shiny brass pieces depicting various objects or symbols are also prized by antique collectors. Horse brasses were a standard part of draft horse harnesses in England and America. Teams adorned with decorative brasses are seen in many old paintings and photos.
