I was going to do the same thing when I visit my son's farm in Kentucky next weekend. But, he may have
sold them all on eBay by now! You could buy a horse and harness and rent it out for pulling tree stumps out
of the ground! In Minnesota where I grew up, they were usually part of a double-tree for two horses and used
to pull wagons, manure spreaders, etc. Yes, I'm that old!
My dictionary says that whippletree is an archaic form of singletree.

As is whiffletree. They all fasten to a doubletree for two horse
hitches. Now we better get back to cameras and photographs before the
city folk lose patience with us. But we were talking photo ideas, right?

Mea culpa! Thanks for the clarifications. BTW, I
live near Amish
country with a lot of horse drawn equipment. I tried to
get out
and get a photo of a singletree - that is the piece of tack
between
a horse and a wagon - but also ran out of time on that
one. Now I
have a singletree and am puzzling what to do with it.

Dang...
and here, for over 60 years I've always referred to "that" piece
of
tack, as a whippletree!
