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?)

Me, wondering how much money you can make buying horses on the low and reselling them with a fresh coat of paint: 🤡
