HISTARCH
What Smoke failed to mention is that the reason he was empowered to
return the rubber horseshoe to Moscow was because it was covered with
horse manure. It still resides in the comparative collection, sans manure.
My first choice for horseshoe analysis is:
Lungwitz, A., and John W. Adams
1966 A Textbook of Horseshoeing for Horseshoers and
Veterinarians. Oregon State University Press, Corvallis: Translation
by Adams 1904 of Lungwitz 1884.
Many Land Grant schools still have wall displays of horseshoes. The
defunct Diamond Caulk Horseshoe Company also distributed a display
of horseshoes (actually pony shoes to save space) to anyone
asking. Both of these sources were still found at the University of
Idaho the last I checked.
