The reins going to an individual horse's bit pass through terrets on the saddle and neck-strap. But reins going to horses ahead, pass through rings high on the bridle of the horses behind them.

A terret or rein ring is a metal loop on a horse harness through which the lines (reins) pass to prevent them from tangling or getting snagged on the harness or shafts.[1]:272

The lines run from the hands of the driver, through the terrets, and then attach to the horse's bit to guide the horse. Most harnesses have two pairs of terrets, one on the harness saddle, and one on the hames of the collar (or on the neck-strap of a breast collar). Terrets are commonly made of brass or steel, and they may stand up stiffly, or they may consist of a hinged ring. They are usually circular, but may be U-shaped or square.

Where a horse is driven behind another (such as in a team of four or more, or in tandem), each terret on the rear animal's harness may be divided into two, allowing the lines for the forward and rear animals to be kept separate. There may also be an additional pair of head terrets on the rear animal's bridle, taking the reins for the forward animal, also called a "Roger ring".[1]:229

The word terret may also be used for other metal loops for attaching ropes or chains, such as the ring on a dog collar. The word derives from the Old Frenchtoret or touret, meaning small and round.[2] Because the terret was often decorated and has the same mounts as harness bells and plumes, sometimes in combination, the word often extends to include these even when the guideline function for the reins is itself missing. The purpose of bells, for example, was to give audible warning of the approach of a team, as the weight of a load requiring four or more horses in hand makes rapid stopping very difficult.

صُممت حواجز الذباب لردع الذباب عن إزعاج الخيول، خاصةً خلال فصل الصيف. ورغم نجاحها إلى حد ما في ردع الذباب، فقد اكتسبت هذه الحواجز أيضًا دورًا زخرفيًا خلال النصف الأخير من القرن التاسع عشر. وبلغ استخدام الحواجز النحاسية وحواجز الذباب ذروته بين عامي 1850 و1910، حين بدأ إنتاجها بكميات كبيرة إما بالختم أو الصب.
