Oscar E brown did not 'come up' with the horseshoe. The horseshoe has been in existence for thousands of years in one form or the other.

He did however 'invent' a new type of shoe that was supposed to be a 'double' shoe. An upper shoe was fastened to the hoof and a lower shoe was detachable from the upper shoe to sharpen caulks or replace it.

The double shoe was not very successful for obvious reasons such as the need to remove the upper shoe to trim the hoof and the fact that they were twice as heavy as a single shoe.
