Ginnie - I'd recommend contacting a stable or farrier (guy who does horseshoes) about getting some to use as wedding favors. Some tack and weastern wear supply stores may also have novelty horseshoes you can use, which may be even smaller or be in different metals. I think using pony shoes is a fabulous idea and a unique twist on a western favor!
