How can you determine the poles of an odd shaped magnet?
You place the magnet under a piece of paper, and then sprinkle some iron filings on the paper. The iron filings will line up along the magnetic lines of force, which will show very clearly where the magnetic poles are.
What is a horseshoe magnet?
Magnet shaped like a horseshoe, so both the polarities are pointed the same way. They can be weak or strong magnets (my dad had a couple when we were kids... we put a broomstick in them and did chin-ups from the I-beam in the basement, because they were strong enough to hold a 12-year-old's weight easily). Here is a site with a picture of some: http://www.indigo.com/magnets/gphmgnts/chrome-steel-horseshoe-magnets.html

What happens when you place iron fillings around a magnet?
The fillings align themselves according to the magnetic field created by the magnet. *See the related links to images of the fillings behaving this way, along with a drawing representing the magnetic fields to which the filings align. You can see how the fillings behave similarly in each of the different photos. (see also related question below)
