Hi Chicab,

Janice from Clip Clop Horseshoes (Rodeo Lady on here) makes real horseshoes and decorates them for weddings, anniversary, birthday etc. You could get in touch with her I can vouch for her horseshoes as I bought one for my inlaws Ruby Anniversary.

HTH

Cheers.

I know that they do them in a cake shop in the center of Oxford, so im sure youd be able to find them in a cake shop anywhere.
They do lots of sizes.

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for that and Ive seen her horseshoes and they look really lovely. I really wanted to make up something myself but hers are a great idea.

Hi Rudi,

Thank you for that. I didnt even think about cake shops so I guess thats another area to search.

Hi Fiona,

Many thanks for your help. Yes Ive seen the devon woodman on ebay and thats the kind of thing Im looking for. It doesnt have to be plastic as Im going to cover and decorate it so probably a wooden one would be better. I think a lot of the plastic ones have embossed decoration anyway dont they so I would be paying for this, only then to hide and cover up!!

If you're looking for wooden horseshoe shapes, I would also recommend a member here, Kipper Workshops (Steve), who runs www.craftshapes.co.uk (http://www.craftshapes.co.uk) - excellent service all round.

I love craftshapes too, just done another order from them this mornig, fab service always received
They don't have horseshoes though, hence my minor defection to other places for those!

Drop Steve (Kipper Workshops) a line and let him know... I'm sure he'd do all he could to fill the gap in his stock if it meant winning back some more custom!

[samigail]

yes, I did that, he was looking into it - bless him, what a star!

have you seen the craft blog on the craftshapes site where he is helping crafters sell their stuff with great articles etc. I love his website

a friend makes her horseshoes from the poly bases in the pisa packaging, covers them in fine lacy material and decorates them. they look great

Have to admit that I am also a big fan of Clipclops horseshoes - I got one for my sisters ruby wedding anniversary and she was over the moon with it.

If you really want to make it yourself, have you thought about making one with clay?
