✅ SOLVED Is this some sort of horse shoe

[smr1000]

Found this in the woods, was very rusty. A short treatment with electrolysis for a better view.
In many ways, except for the shape, it looks similar to other horse shoes that I've found in the area.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Happy Labor Day to all!

It's a heart bar shoe for a horse. It's used to treat a horse with certain types of hoof problems.

No problem, glad I could help. I know a little bit about horses and shoes. I used to raise quarter horses and had a farrier business on the side.
