✅ SOLVED Fire brick and horse shoe

[DiggerDave99]

I would like to know more about this fire brick if possible and I thought the horse shoe was interesting. Why would the shoe be turned out on one side like that?

BY the way, I dug both of these up at an old 1850's gold mining site in the Sierra Foothills of CA.

That's a cob shoe. A farrier uses it to help a young horse with foot placement as it grows.
