That is a kind of rope used by Argentinian cowboys to rope cattle.
Cowboys used ropes and horses to catch cattle in a couple of ways. The horse itself was used to allow the cowboy to keep up with the cattle and for 'stopping power'. They would then lasso the cattle by either throwing the rope over the cattle's horns, head, or heels. Once the rope was secure around the animal they would then wrap the rope around the saddles horn or secure it in some other way if there was no horn to use. The horses size would keep the animal from getting away, like an anchor on a ship.
