Horseshoes is an outdoor game played between two people (or two teams of two people) using four horseshoes and two throwing targets (stakes) set in a lawn or sandbox area. The game is played by the players alternating turns tossing horseshoes at stakes in the ground, which are traditionally placed 40 feet (12 m) apart. Modern games use a more stylized U-shaped bar, about twice the size of an actual horseshoe.
Later in history horseshoes were made from bronze and then iron. Today horseshoes are made from a variety of materials with the most common being steel and aluminum. Specialized shoes may be made of rubber, plastic, titanium, magnesium or copper.Steel is the most commonly used material when shoeing a horse for use in sports such as polo, eventing, show jumping and western riding.This is because it is relatively lightweight, very strong and long-wearing. Race horses are commonly fitted with aluminum shoes because it is a lighter material than steel.7 Sep, 2012 what are 0.
