It's used for when the horse needs to be kept tacked up, like in busy riding schools. All of ours are left with tack on, just girth loosened and twisted reins.

You twist reins by simply folding them over each other (when over the horses head) twice, then threading the throatlash through the middle and doing up the throatlash again
