Horse Shoe?

[dicejr2011]

Or get to post this the other day when I found my flying eagle, shield nickel and 2 cent. Have found many horse and oxen shoes but never one like this. Can someone shed some light on this one for me.

Thanks,

Dicejr

looks like the bar type shoe shown half way down on this wiki page Horseshoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

it is a special shoe that farriers use to protect the pads on hoof.
