I have a really old Leather strap that is around 3 and a half feet long and about 3 and a half inches wide. It has a total of six US emblem's mounted 3 on each side. It also has two smaller straps on each end. My guess was that it was used on a military horse ?

My guess, and I am not an expert on tack, would be that it is a harness strap with extra rosetts added. My dad still had 6 sets of WW I harness in the 1960s that had that type of marking, but they were used very sparingly there were no sets of three anywhere on them. Mr Wolfe will be here soon with a better answer.
