Pro tip: I used to ditch old horseshoes, but a blacksmith's reuse story won me over.

Hearing how he melts them into new gear made me start saving every worn shoe.

Yeah, that barrel idea from faith_miller94 is smart. I just use a heavy-duty bucket in my shed, keeps them all in one spot until I have enough to make the trip worth it. leeknight is right, it's a total mindset shift once you see what they can become. My guy forges them into simple stuff like coat hooks and fire pokers, nothing fancy but it feels good not to waste the metal.
