That's a hind bar preventer type shoe for a draft horse. They were designed for horses that extents one of they're hind feet to far forward thus ripping the shoe off the opposite hind foot. I've found a bunch of draft horse shoes but only one hind bar preventer type shoe.

Cool, I figured it would probably be a draft horse shoe just never seen the full shoe like that before.... Thanks for clearing that up Tom.....

I had 2 draft horses pull my old honda accord out of a ditch once. I offered the amish guy a beer afterward but he declined lol so I bought some homemade jam from him.
