    A fiador is part of a horses bridle "collar worn by a horse, immediately behind the head, to which a handle, strap, or rope may be attached"
    I do not have a horse. I have used it as shown in the last photo as a lanyard to hang items from a belt or back pack. I find it very useful and decorative
