JERKIN GAUNTLET
MITTENS HORSESHOE

ok, now I might well be wrong about this, but I believe that a jerkin/gauntlet and mittens, are articles of clothing, while I don't believe any human would wear horseshoes, so I'm going to say that HORSESHOE is the odd one out.

I agree with rlsuth ... a jerkhin and gauntlet and mittens are worn on the upper part of the body, whereas hoseeshoes cannot

Well....... they could be attached to the upper body but I don't think the person would be very comfortable.
