The history

In the past, the base of the shoe was created by shaping the tree. For the leash part, which allows the horseshoes to be worn on the feet, mostly car tire pieces are used. The richly decorated and colorful 'horseshoes' worn under the bindalis on special occasions such as henna night and engagement are also produced. Until recently, poplar wood was used in making horseshoes because of its durability.
