A friend found this old horseshoe and gave it to me. It was found out in the desert near El Paso, TX/ New Mexico border. I have never seen a horseshoe like this and it looks super old to me. Does anyone have any idea how old this is or know anything else about it?

Nice!! Congrats!!
 
Your shoe appears to have a hand made toe clip indicating it was from a front hoof.The toe clip kept the shoe from sliding backwards over time.

It also appears that your shoe has a hand cut fuller. Given that, with the amount of rust, and its overall hand forged appearance, I would bet your shoe dates to the early-mid 1800's.
 
Such great info! Thank you!
 
Cool relic, congrats! :occasion14:
 
Nice! That is one custom made looking shoe.
 
Good I'd that's a nice old relic
