Horse shoes- Play the Game To start the game, partners will flip a quarter. Player 1 throws his horseshoes one a time at the opposite stake and then the second players throws both of their horseshoes one at a time at their end.

Horseshoes - Throwing the Shoe Keep your eye on your stake (target) Hold the horseshoe in your dominant hand. Feet are together. Pull horseshoe arm back and step forward with non-dominant foot.

Horseshoes- Scoring Ringer - When the touching of both points of the shoe with a straight edge permits a clearance of the stake. Cancellation Scoring- Teams cancel each others points. I.e. if I score a ringer and you score a ringer those cancel out and we give points based on the horseshoe still in play for both teams Count All Scoring- All points count, each player could potentially score 6 points every inning
