Horseshoes are nailed or glued to the horse's hooves to protect the hooves from wear and tear. Nothing is known of the origin of this horseshoe. It is fullered, meaning it has a groove running along the surface into which the nail holes are placed, with eight nail holes. It has no caulkins - protrusions at the toe and heel of the horseshoe which provide additional traction.
