horsecollar

Oval pulling frame

A horsecollar is the padded collar fitted around a draft horse's neck, distributing the weight of a load across the animal's shoulders.

In American football, a horsecollar tackle—grabbing a ballcarrier by the back of the collar or shoulder pads and pulling them down—is an illegal play due to injury risk.

As a verb, to horsecollar someone is to tackle them this way or, more broadly, to restrain or bring down forcefully.
