Hobble chains were commonly used by farmers, drovers, and horse handlers in the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were placed around a horse's legs to prevent it from wandering too far while grazing or resting. These chains were essential tools for livestock management, particularly in open grazing environments where fencing was limited. The reference to Vectis Homestead suggests this piece was used on a historical farm or station, possibly dating back to pioneering Australian agricultural practices. Horse Hobble Chain from Vectis Homestead.The item is a rusted metal hobble chain, historically used to restrain or slow down horses or livestock by limiting their movement. The chain consists of several interlinked iron loops, some of which appear twisted or slightly misshapen due to age and wear. The chain ends with a larger rectangular link, likely for attachment purposes. The surface of the chain is heavily rusted, indicating significant age and exposure to the elements.hobble chain, horse, farm equipment, functional item, horse equipment

Such tiles were used in public buildings, homes, and businesses due to their durability and aesthetic appeal.Three fragments of terracotta tiles, reddish-brown in color. The pieces have irregular edges, indicating they are broken from a larger tile. Each fragment is flat with a slightly rough texture on one side and a smoother, more finished surface on the other.
