The obvious reason is that you can shoe a horse with them. Some people also believe that a horseshoe brings good luck (from the historic fact that they are made of iron; iron was extremely rare, so if someone was fortunate enough to find any it was assumed they had good luck - the most common way for a commoner to find any amount of iron was a horseshoe on the side of the road).
