Horseshoes

The idea's come to mind a few times that it would be a nice RP hook if horseshoes decayed, to account for thrown/worn shoes and hoof growth (horseshoes should be changed every 4-6 weeks).
I'd suggest around a 40 IC day decay timer, and adding a small coded benefit, perhaps +50 mv to the horse or +5 CON. This would be similar to how taking your bladed weapon to a blacksmith to be resharpened offers a small damage benefit.
Further thought: the horseshoes could decay into 'a worn, rusted horseshoe', which could be added as an alternative to iron lumps in the Smelting Iron recipe (1566) to recover an iron bar from.
