Shoeing in the Check Republic!

My Mum visited the Check Republic this year and on her travels stumbled across some horses and "like mother like daughter" she took some pictures of the shoeing for me.

I can't tell you much about the style of shoeing but these shoes would have been put on with the thought that this would help pulling carts over cobbled streets. They look quite extreme with a large toe grab and huge rubber wedge across the heels. The trimming leads to a few questions as well! If any of you see any interesting feet whilst you're abroad and your not too embarrassed to snap away I'd be really grateful to see some more shoeing across the world.
