That’s it. Any horse, any time period, any peoples, did they fit a shoe that helped the horse to swim in water?

(Was thinking about how horses are pretty good swimmers, maybe due to their power and hoof shape. Could they be better?)

    Regular flippers would not help.

    But some little hinged wings on the sides of each hoof could work.

    They fold down on the upstroke flat against the hoof, then fold out horizontal with the downstroke.
