“Cow Shoes”

These were used by moonshiners during prohibition to disguise their footprints. The fancy footwear left hoof prints instead of footprints, helping distillers and smugglers evade the police.

The Trojan Horse was the wooden horse used by the Greeks, during the Trojan War, to enter the city of Troy and win the war. After a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks at the behest of Odysseus constructed a huge wooden horse and hid a select force of men inside, including Odysseus himself.

The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, ending the war.

I'm familiar with the Trojan Horse. The image posted is different from any I'd seen.

But I never heard of cow shoes before! LOL
