I did eventually devise a way of mounting a horseshoe onto a frame.
It was all a bit of a rush job so I didn't have much time to cogitate, but I think it came out not-too-bad and the customer was pleased. It's going into a charity auction today.
The print is by a local equestrian artist Daniel Crane and depicts Frankel. Racing fans will be familiar with the horse. The shoe is from his final race (the horse not the artist).

Nice work!!.. particularly the colour and the width of the flat. From an aesthetic point of view, I think a slightly deeper bottom section housing the horseshoe would have added a better balance to the completed piece. Nice touch though and I hope it raises a good price for the charity.

The original plan was to nail it on with proper horseshoe nails (Suitably shortened). But couldn't get any in time so it's strapped down with supersoftstrand. There is also a sticky-up bit on the shoe which fits snugly into a little cavity that a whittled.
