- This article is about horseshoes, as a game. For horseshoe, as used on animals, see Horseshoe.
Horseshoes is an outdoor game played between two people (or two teams of two people) using four horseshoes and two stakes. The game is played by the players alternating turns tossing horseshoes at stakes in the ground, which are traditionally placed 40 feet (12.19 meters) apart. Modern games use a more stylized U-shaped bar, about twice the size of an actual horseshoe.
Game play
The game begins with a flip of a coin or flip of a horseshoe to determine who goes first. The winner of the toss throws both horseshoes, one at a time, at the opposite stake, and then the second player throws both of their horseshoes at the same stake. In team play, one member of each team stands at opposite ends and throws only from their end. After scoring, the next round is done in reverse order, or by throwing back at the original stake. Play continues until one player has at least 21 points at the end of a round. NHPA sanctioned games are generally played to 40 points, or a shoe limit of 40 or 50 shoes. More on [ Horseshoes ]
