That’s it. Any horse, any time period, any peoples, did they fit a shoe that helped the horse to swim in water?
(Was thinking about how horses are pretty good swimmers, maybe due to their power and hoof shape. Could they be better?)

Thanks for sharing your lived experience. Your characterisations of each horse gave me a good laugh.
That is very interesting that they would be quicker after being shod. Not sure why that would be. Less apprehensive of kicking something underwater perhaps.
