A little help please.

Found this today and have no idea what it is. It appears to be made of brass or bronze. Thanks for any help you can provide.

or perhaps a shoe horn....

Thanks for the responses. I was also thinking along the horse tack lines. I don't think it's flat or large enough to be a shoe horn. I'll see if there is anything that looks similar on some of the equestrian sites.
