A "Hame" is defined as ''either of two curved pieces lying upon the collar in the harness of an animal to which the traces are fastened.'' When horses are harnessed to a cart or wagon the tie which actually pulls the wagon is attached to heavily padded collars which rest on the horses' shoulders. However the horses are actually driven by traces, the lines which can pull them to one side or the other. These are not attached to a bridle as with saddle horses, but to hames, knobs on the top of the collars.
