A Horse Shoe from Brasil

This one should tell its own tale but what that may be I have no idea, it was found up a river in Salvador, Bahia, Brasil and in 1988. We had anchored off the river bank for the night and on a trip ashore I found the cast iron shoe.


This would have fitted a full sized horse, note that there are no holes for nails, so this shoe was never fitted.



The inside of the shoe, there is corrosion but otherwise the shoe is in good condition.
Why was this shoe near the river bank, I can only assume a Farrier had set up shop near the river bank and lost this shoe in the process.

More on this can be found in the link below.
