Two years ago Rob from Wildfire Forge shared this photo of a poignant piece of art he had created that really tugged at my heart.

I don’t have the words to explain the feelings this image stirs up in me, except to say - today I will remember ALL the fallen.

Please take a moment to read the story behind the creation of this wonderful piece, then click on Wildfire’s page and have a look at the truly beautiful art he creates from horseshoes.

***************

"A Hoofprint in Time" 💜🐴🌺 Never Forgotten
~ The final design for the very special 'old n' rusty shoes!!
They are over 100yrs old & were discovered in a quarry near Amiens in France that was used by allied troops as supply storage/billeting on the western front during the Great War WW1, along with other militaria from the period.
Such an honour to be asked to work with these special shoes, I felt it was important to preserve them 'as is' & the client was in full agreement - the shoes are a piece of irrepleacable History.
~ I wanted to create a poignant design as a fitting tribute to the plight that most of the army horses suffered. The shoes are probably from 2 different horses, both fairly light horses -I would guess maybe Cavalry/light draft stamp. There is a front shoe with 4 stud holes & a hind shoe, without studholes. Some of the nails are still present & the shoes are fairly worn out, so I'm guessing the quarry they were found in was used as a base camp, & these may have been removed by the farrier, some 100+ years ago??
~I've worked in collaboration with local potter David at Vinegar Hill Pottery (who I can't thank enough!) to create the clay imprint of the horseshoe, in a textured coarse earthenware clay, to symbolise the mud/ground. The hoofprint, to me, symbolises the past & also stepping into the future.
~The wooden base I selected is made from a tree that would have been just a sapling, at the time of the Great War.
~The shoes have been sympathetically cleaned & treated with special wax, to prevent further rusting & to preserve them.
~The handmade poppies symbolise the immeasurable sacrifice made by humans & animals alike, and also bring hope for a peaceful future.
