As far as the halter part , the offset on the rotation is wrong unless it's been bent to less than 90 degrees--pretty light weight for that also but , hey , it's possible.
My guess is some sort of a reign guide off of draft/working horse tack or maybe a carriage reign guide.
Might also be off of a purse strap from the local hooker.
Us "Yankees" sure can have odd terms for things, however, we make up for it in our fine taste in television programming. And if I must say, you hillbillies sure as shit make compelling, informative t.v. shows
