"Horse Brasses"...made for harness decorations, usually on cart horses. There are hundreds of different designs available, both old and new. I'm sure ebay must have a good selection at any given time.

whilst most horse brasses...are cheap to buy...there are however..some that are very rare, and these can command quite high prices,..ranging from, £20..to £100+....

True. Sometimes it can be hard to tell the age, but I'd say these look newer.
