Yep,goliethslayer,, you do know what a parking brake is.The one I have
is Octagon shaped and there is an inset bar on top of it that stilll has
a piece of old rope tied on it.Usually there was an iron hook thingy on
the other end of the rope for hooking it onto the Horses Bridal.About
the only thing that would cause a Horse with a chunk of Iron like that
hooked to his or her Bridal to run away would be if a Snake slithered
by,,, in that case,,, you better get out of the way!

I thought that was what hitching posts were for..!

Sure,ever quarter mile wherever you looked wayyyyyy out in the country
on them dirt roads or off them dirt roads,there were hitchin post
everywhere.
