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.
The Horseshoe Court. The game of Horseshoes is played on what is called a court. The most important dimension on this court is the distance between stakes. They should be made of 1 diameter pipe of cold-rolled steel. They should be 40 feet apart on level ground. They should extend out of the ground 14 or 15 inches and be leaning approximately 3 toward each other. Horseshoes is played on a grassy surface with a pit made of loose turf surrounding each stake. An area about 18 on both sides and 24 before and behind each stake should be dug up.
