Horseshoes is an outdoor game played between two people (or two teams of two people) using four horseshoes and two throwing targets (stakes) set in a sandbox area. The game is played by the players alternating turns tossing horseshoes at stakes in the ground which are traditionally placed 40 feet apart. Modern games use a more stylized U-shaped bar about twice the size of an actual horseshoe.
