Our Little Irish Company

The Dublin Horseshoe Company was founded in 2013. It is owned and operated by Cindy Bowe and is presently located in The United States in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Starting this little international business and growing my connections across the sea have been an absolute dream come true.

 I have been very blessed to make connections in Co. Dublin, Ireland with farriers who very graciously ship their gorgeous shoes to us, including a sixth generation blacksmith, who literally lives on the side of a mountain and one of Ireland’s ONLY FEMALE farriers…not to brag or anything, but hey that’s so cool!

 My Irish heritage is very important to me and I very much believe in the magic of Ireland and all things Irish. Horseshoes have been a symbol of good luck for hundreds of years and throughout many different cultures. We like to say that ALL horseshoes are lucky, but Irish horseshoes are truly the luckiest. I mean, c’mon…..of course they are!

The shoes are shipped to me in large quantities by boat. They are rusted, dirty, coated with soil from the 'homeland' with nails and horse hair still attached. I clean each shoe by hand with steel brushes after they've soaked in a special solution, before I paint and/or seal them with rust preventive primer, paint and sealer. Every shoe is then given a number and shipped to you with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

I really wanted to bring these authentic shoes to the States to offer a little bit of Ireland's amazing heritage and tradition making them a very special and unique gift to give or receive. Since each shoe is forged/fitted/handled by an actual blacksmith, there are no two exactly the same.
