Horse-flippers? Have any horses from history, ever been fitted with horseshoes that improve their ability to swim?

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?)

God dammit.....I gave you a good faith upvote, and then clicked the video for what I assumed would be an amazing horse swimming video.

..........dammit Rick Astley! Stop dressing up like a unicorn!

False advertising. These are clearly unicorns.

This gave me some serious flashbacks but I've no idea when or why I would have watched it
