Yes, this is a real horseshoe worn by a real horse. Called a "heart bar," this style horseshoe is typically used on horses that need more hoof support.
However, we think it makes a beautiful and unique good luck charm for your home. Resembling both a heart and the letter "m," and decorated with shiny teal beads and a striking silver toned rose at the base, this horseshoe is truly one of kind. The natural jute twine accents add a charming rustic touch to "Heart of the Matter." In stock.
