Artifact Overview
Horses were an important part of transportation until the car took over -- and buying the right equipment was essential to horse owners. Late 19th and early 20th century shops that sold saddles, harness, and tack used horse display mannequins, much like this one, to encourage horse owners to purchase the equipment from their stores.
