A terret is a metal loop on a horse harness, guiding the lines and preventing them from becoming tangled or snagged on the harness.
​
The word terret may also be used for other metal loops for attaching ropes or chains, such as the ring on a dog collar. The word derives from the Old French toret or touret, meaning small and round.
Bronze terrets from horse harness are a common archaeological find from the European Iron Age (covering the Celtic period), sometimes with decoration.
