  2. When people did not know what a collar was for a horse they used to make suggins for pulling loads and they made them out of a long straw rope 50 yds long and put it in over the horse's head and they had a haymes which was closed in the bottom with a rope of horse-hair and an iron clasp on the top that was never known to spoil a horse's breast.
