Blacksmith Mini Pioneer Horseshoe

Description

This 2″ iron horseshoe is a fun collectible for any age. The pioneers made their own horseshoes by using iron, steel, and fire. They would heat up the metal and then with a hammer bend it until it was perfect. The horseshoe was used to protect the feet of the horses and cattle while working. The pioneer children would often collect the horseshoes that had fallen off the horses and cattle and then would use them for games and activities.

The Nauvoo Blacksmith shop makes beautiful mini horseshoes for children that visit the blacksmith shop.  These mini shoes are made from iron and are a wonderful keepsake reminding youngsters of the days of old Nauvoo. Your order will come with one horseshoe.
