Description
The horseshoe has always been one of the most well-known good luck symbols. It was considered especially lucky if you found an old horseshoe. Many believe that a found horseshoe has tenfold the power of a purchased horseshoe. The best find is an old horseshoe with the nails still in place. I found a whole pallet crate filled with old rusty horseshoes when I was out walking the dog one day, so I really hope there is some truth to this belief!
The tradition of hanging a horseshoe above your door for protection and good luck dates back to the 16th century, but which way should it hang?
Some say it is most important to hang your horseshoe with the points upwards so that the luck won’t fall out. Others claim that hanging the horseshoe with the points down will ensure good luck pouring down on everyone who walks underneath and will pour good luck into the home.
During the First World War the horseshoe with the points facing downwards on printed cards was most common.
It is told the ship of Admiral Nelson called “Victory” had a good luck horseshoe nailed to the mast.
