Individual Name:

Horseshoe
A Brief Overview:

Horseshoe pitching is a game in which players attempt to toss a horseshoe-shaped object from the area around one stake so that when it lands it encircles the other stake, which is 40 ft (12.2 m) away.

The playing surface is usually bare earth, and the stakes project 14 in (35.6 cm) from the ground. The game may be played by two individuals or by four in partnerships.

The encirclement of the stake is called a ringer and scores 3 points, and if no ringers are made the horseshoe nearest the stake counts 1 point. A game for two is played to 50 points, and for four, to 21 points.

Horseshoe pitching developed from the ancient game of quoits or a similar ringtoss game.
