Horseshoes PitchingHorseshoes of agreed size and weight are thrown at stakes over a distance of 27 to 37 ft (depending on the age of the players) in pits lined with flooring material to prevent excessive bouncing. Points are scored for encircling the stake or being closest to the stake. The game is believed to date back to Roman Times. It is extremely popular in N. America, but is also played in South Africa, Italy, Japan, Grand Bahama Islands, Togo, West Africa, Australia, New Zealand, West Germany, Nigeria, Honduras, Canada, South America, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, Poland, Phillipine Islands, England, Sweden, Finland and Russia.

Horseshoes has been played here for hundreds of years (ever since there were horses) and many believe it was brought to America by early Irish settlers.
