| Description : | This hame consists of a long, thin piece of wood. One end curves and tapers slightly. Fastened to this end is a metal loop. The other end of the hame is squared, with grooves for holding a strap to fasten the two hames together behind a horse's neck. A metal hook is attached to the hame, roughly centred along the length of the hame. |
| Commentaires : | This hame, donated by James Lilly, was used in the woods for hauling logs. Horses were used both for hauling wood for personal use, and for hauling lumber in logging camps. Wood hauling was an important activity in rural Newfoundland. Local wood was cut and hauled for use in everything from houses to fishery infrastructure to firewood. In addition to this, many men worked in logging camps during the winter months to supplement their fishing income. Hames had to be fit carefully to a particular horse and collar, for hames that did not fit securely into the hame bed could cause sores on the horse. |
| Fonctions : | The hame was used for outfitting horses to pull sleds or carts. Two hames were needed on a horse, one fastened to the collar on either side of the neck. The curved ends would curve towards each other across the horse's chest, and would be fastened together by use of a strap which would be connected to the metal loop at each curved end. The straight ends of the hames would also be fastened together, behind the horse's neck. Traces for the sled or wagon to be pulled would be attached to the metal hook on each hame. |
