Part of the collection of ceremonial horseshoes in the Norman Castle at Oakham, Rutland, UK. Traditionally, any peer of the realm or monarch visiting Oakham for the first time must forfeit a horsehoe. Originally these were real horseshoes; later it became the custom to have a special, elaborate (often outsize) shoe made specially for the presentation ceremony.
