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!
Besides the game Horseshoes the shoes can be welded into bridle racks, handles for stall doors, hang them over a doorway for good luck. Other than these examples I have not seen people use horseshoes.

This is called a barefoot horse, and it is healthier for the horse because horseshoes restrict bloodflow up and down the hoof, conduct cold into the leg and hoof, and sends vibrations up the horses leg, damaging tendons and joints.

Horseshoes cause several more problems, as you can see in the related links below.
== == Horseshoes are pieces of metal that are attached to the bottom of a horses hooves. They stop the hooves wearing down, and also provide grip. This is not to say that a horse without shoes will not be okay. It is a matter of choice.

yes it does affect the horse's speed because without it they will not run fast as they can if they had horseshoes
Horseshoes keep horses' hooves protected from pointy rocks and other stuff!
One. As long as your horse is three years old, and has horseshoes, a saddle, and a bridle, it can compete in competitions
A blacksmith or farrier. They make horseshoes as well as put them on the horse. This is what people mean when buying a horse they say 'does the horse stand for the blacksmith/farrier?'
when ever your horse gets its feet trimed reguarly. It depends on how fast their feet grow. Its best to ask your farrier.
You have to buy a saddle, bridle, and horseshoes, then you go to your horses page and scroll down to the tab that is called, "Competions". Put the tack on your horse, then click the competition you want to enter.
