Horseshoe

This ‘open bar shoe for frog dressing’ is for a carriage horse. One wing of the shoe is ridged on its outer face and has four nail holes; the un-ridged wing has two nail holes. The shoe was made by H. J. W. Duke of Nether Wallop, Hampshire, circa 1945–6, and is part of a large collection of traditional craft products acquired from the British Council in 1960.
