My guess is that because of the curve in the end of the stock, the "chisel" piece was kicked with the upper leg- though I'm not sure what it's for :)

Sorry for the delay in answering.....(doctor appointments).

This is a tool used to re-shoe a horse, and the tool box to carry new shoes, and other accessories (nails, etc.).
You hold the tool by the handle in the middle, and put the wood part against your shoulder, to slide the flat part under the old shoe.
