Hat-racks in the desert

A sentence in the novel I'm translating mentions wild and wormy horses, like hat-racks in the desert. It's the hat-racks/desert part that confuses me. Has anybody got an idea?

Extremely thin?

Useless? Deserts are hot during the day and cold at night. People there need to keep their hats on.
