"Oxen were used for ploughing and draught purposes from the Medieval period until the 19th century, when they were gradually superseded by horses. If oxen were working on stony ground they were shod, usually on the front feet, with ox shoes, one on each of the two hooves on each foot. These ox shoes date from the 18th-19th century and come from Aberdeenshire. The shoe on the right of this picture is one of a pair, made from a thin crescent-shaped iron plate with four nail holes along the outer edge, two broad wings which fot over each side of the toe, and a flange at the heel. It is shown here with a hoof fitted into the shoe. The other ox shoe was made by a different smith and has five nail holes and only one narrow wing over the toe."
