horse collar
Oval work harness
A horse collar is a padded device fitted around a draft horse's neck and shoulders, allowing the animal to pull heavy loads.
In American football, a horse-collar tackle is grabbing the back of a player's collar or shoulder pads to pull them down—a dangerous move now penalized.
To horse-collar someone is to tackle them this way or, figuratively, to restrain them forcefully: Security horse-collared the intruder before he reached the stage.
