Just stands to reason that in time on old time fields some one will find a horse shoe.That rather small semi circle of iron represents a part of history.some tired farmer passed that way with his team of work Horses pulling a tillage tool and a shoe came off a horses hoof.When? Only history knows that. I remember when I was a little kid I would stand and watch the Horse shoer we called him ,in the spring checking all the big work horses shoes making sure they were ok for the coming spring work. Once in a while a shoe would come off while the horse was working in the field and dad would go to town to ask the horse shoer to come out and put a new shoe on the horse.

In 1948 a new shiny little Ford 8N came on the place and I got to learn how to drive it and the memory of the horses got dimmer until it became only an occasional thing which passed quickly,but even now 50 years or so later I can still see that horse shoer practiceing his craft on our work stock,back on the farm I grew up on.
