Old horse shoe?

[hbru123]

4x4x4 found this at a old area that has been widely used for everything ( military, stagecoach, towns and a lot more) does anyone know if it is a horse shoe and also how old is it?

Thanks!

I don't know much about horses and even less about horseshoes. The absence of caulkins (the bumps on the toe and heels of the shoe) makes me think it's maybe mid-1800's

It's an old smith made shoe. Looks crude and unfinished. Apprentice/beginner maybe?
