I was pretty sure this was for horses after I glimpsed the metal ring attached to it. A brief conversation with the county worker opening up for the day confirmed my suspicions. The reddish, gravestone-looking stone is about 2 inches from the old-fashioned stone curb and implanted firmly in the ground, surrounded by the brick sidewalk.
