Rules to play Horseshoes
The equipment
To play horseshoes, all you need are four shoes and two stakes. For true regulation play, you should create two sand pits about 40 feet apart with the stake positioned in the center of each pit. This is fairly simple to create on your own. My friends made their own playing field by digging out two rectangle pits, throwing in a bit of concrete to anchor the stakes, and filling the pits with sand from the hardware store.
