Description:
Whole horseshoe, very slightly bowed so that the center edge of the branch is lower (away from hoof) than the outer edge. Four holes on the right side, three on the left, probably set into fullering (more clear fullering for the side with four holes). Center ends kind of bend down a bit at the heel to make a very slight caulkin. Very little wear at the toe.
