We put a horseshoe court in our backyard recently. My brother spray painted the shoes blue and orange. We’ve only played a couple games with it though, we still need to get a few more sand bags to fill the holes around the poles.
To play horseshoes you grab two horseshoes and throw them at a pole in the ground 40 feet away. If the shoe is touching the pole you get one point, if it’s leaning on the pole that’s worth 2 points, and if the shoe is caught around the pole that is 3 points.
When we played horseshoes for the first time we played to 12 points. My team was me and my mother while my brother and father were our opponents. After my brother got two ringers we were sure we were gonna lose.
