   It's a trap. For a very big bear?

   I was looking for that, its the snorkel adapter for my codpiece. Oh boy, Betty is going to be so happy.

   Without any sense of scale, I'm thinking that it looks like it clamps onto a horse's hoof, like a horse-sized snowshoe.

   It's some sort of stove

5. Kwinnie

   It's an iron boot for illegaly parked horses.

   A horse de-shoer

   It's a chastity device for an elephant's foot, because we all know where their reproductive organs are at - if they step on you, you're screwed!

   I think these are some kind of "snowshoes" for horses, so they dont sink in muddy grounds.

    Hockey mask for a 2-d Jason Voorhees.

    Yes, it is a "snowshoe" and a "steadyshoe"

    Throw my hat in for some sort of animal shoe.

    the very first shoe sizer

    If this actually is for a horse to wear, then I doubt it's for snow, the large surface area could be for crossing frozen lakes or something, but with all those holes (presumably for either weight reduction or to put studs through) I doubt it would fair very well in deep snow.

    By the way, aimi, these things are 11 inches long.

    It is kind of like a horse shoe, kind of like a snow shoe, but for elephants.

17. Kwinnie
    July 3rd, 2008 at 9:49 am

    I swear it's not actually a form of footwear.

    These are put on horses so they can be used to crush grapes for wine, obviously.

    it's medieval horseshoe crab jousting armor.

    This is a percule application device. It was an early form of orthodontia, applied to sufferes of sigmatism. The practice was abandoned when after five years of widespread use, it produced no successful results. This may be the only surviving examples as all of the 'patients' upon removal of the device, immediately destroyed them with hammers.

    It's a temporary horseshoe for those times when the real horseshoe is in the shop for shoe repairs. It clamps onto the hoof and then the horse is ready to go! The quick-release is installed in the back for easy removal. Comes in 3 different sizes and colors. Also available in "cross-trainers", "steel-toe" for heavy farm work and "runners" for a day at the races.

    best guess is a horse shoe or de-shoe device.

    It looks like a torture device in which ones nose is slowly squashed and adjusted, with the little 'shelf' part on the right hand side on the bottom, collecting the cartilage bits that fall off.

    However...maybe I only see this because I've been watching shows on torture devices on the History Channel all day long...

    i'm told with a high degree of confidence that it is a "peatshoe". Like a snowshoe. For horses working in peat bogs.

31. frenki

    Damn, beaten.

    It's a horseshoe add-on that helps horses go trough marshes and soft land areas due to its large surface.

32. danalan

    It's a horseshoe for use on cobblestone streets -- to avoid bruising the frog of the hoof.

    It's for sizing a horseshoe.
