I checked some other photos of horses in harness and they do not protrude that high up.

The hame is the iron or steel piece that bears the pulling force and pushes against the thick collar.
In searching on this I found many antique hames have the ball tips (E-bay has a number of them for sale). It is probably decorative, as they took great pride in the appearance of their animals and tack, much as many modern macho men do with their trucks.

You are very extremely warm! And yes, we are looking east.

I have a horse collar w/hames that have brass ball tips. Someone had painted them a gold color, and when I went to remove the paint, I found the brass. Strange how someone would paint instead of polish the brass.

I was aware of the Japanese sister city but it just did dawn on me that the Japanese people of that city really had to have had some kindness and special consideration for the city they chose in view of their homeland devastation in World War II.

Those folks selected a sister city that was home to the President of the United States, the man who had ordered the twice Atomic bombing of their home land.

I agree with Harry, but I just never had looked at it that way before.
