      Tying your horse while you are visiting your favourite saloon.

      Seems a bit small to keep a horse down if it's 4 inches. It wouldn't make sense to put the weight atop a pole, nor would it make sense to put a pole in this when it wouldn't be able to fasten to the ground.

      When a horse has the bit in his mouth, he won't pull hard. If this is a buggy anchour, lone horsemen didn't carry them. That's why they are called "buggy" anchours. LOL
