He Wore a Size 9...

While out at the property this weekend pulling the rest of the root balls that were connected to bonsai trees in China. My mother came across this:
We were all very excited. In these parts (to coin a phrase) finding a horseshoe is good luck. But this horseshoe looks to be pretty old. It is very brittle and we believe that it was handmade based on the asymmetrical shape. So we took it to Hobby Lobby and had it framed:
I couldn’t help but think about what kind of adventure caused this horseshoe to end up in a field that was, until recently, covered in mesquite. Probably everyday life…but I'm sure I could come up with some wild story. What I do know is that I can’t wait to put it in the house once we have it built…open end up, of course, based on our mythology.
