In older times, they were thought to be a sign of good luck, and were usually hung above the doorway at the entrance to a home. Just make sure to hang it with the "U" part down, and the open ends up, or your luck just might run out! Or that's what they say anyway... Also, they can be welded together to make great bridle hangers and other home decorations, such as wreaths and doorstoppers! Just use your imagination, and there are thousands of possibilities!
