    Would anyone know where I could get some old horseshoes to try out a craft idea.
    Am in Kerry but would be willing to cover postage costs.

    Did you try asking any farrier around? I could ask mine anyway, also based in Kerry. I'll also ask stables around me - give me a few days! I'm always trying to keep mines for a project that will never happen,:D I'll check if I could spare you some.

    The type of shoe you’d pick up around the place wouldn’t be suitable. Or should I say the “horseshoes” used for that game don’t resemble a genuine shoe. They’re usually specially made and are way bigger and heavier than even Clydesdale shoes

    Thanks farrier, it wouldn't have to be "regulation" size if you know what I mean.
    Its for a friend who is having a medieval themed wedding with loads of old style games of which this is one.
