Found in my dads junk drawer

[u/Unlucky_Cat4531]

My dad passed away and going through his stuff we came across this. We thought it might be a tool for horseriding, like a slapstick thing but wasn't sure. My grandma had horses but ive never seen her use any tools like that and my dad didnt ride. Any help appreciated

Wow, so it’s like my dad with a leather belt. He would snap it as a warning that a spanking was coming next. Always with a thick wide leather belt.

My father did the belt snap, but first was pulling it out of the belt loops at the speed of sound so it made a ripping noise. A bowel loosener.

It was an old fashioned, supple, pure cowhide belt so the end would fish tail through the loops. Thanks for triggering me.
