Horseshoe

This corrective horseshoe is intended to correct a ‘speedy cut’ in which the horse doesn’t rise unless going fast. The shoe is fullered, with five nail holes, and has a flat flange to one side. It 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.
