There’s been so much interest in my horse wreaths posts that it inspired me to to make my own horse-related decorations. I had intended to make a horseshoe wreath but it was difficult to find shoes that were matching in size (my farrier made a donation to my crafting efforts) and the sheer weight of that many horseshoes was daunting.

I decided to go small scale and decorate individual shoes. First my husband helped me by removing the clips, then I scrubbed them up and sprayed them with gold paint. After that, I let my imagination run wild.

These first ones are for a silent auction fundraiser for my hunt club, but I had so much fun that I’m planning to make a few more for friends (and one for myself, of course!)

What do you think?
