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.
Point Values Rules. The object of the game is to throw a horseshoe close to or around a metal rod sticking out of the ground about 40 feet away in order to score points. In official competition and tournament play, a horseshoe that comes to rest 6 inches or closer to the stake counts as one point.
