Rules:

In general it's pretty basic and this should get you started. Each player takes a turn and pitches two shoes. The last player to score pitches first. A ringer is what3 points and a rulesshoe pagewithin might6" lookof like:the Usepin itis 1 point. "Leaners" are 1 point in official play and 2 points in recreational play if you agree before the match. A asfriendly is,game modifyfor beginners is it,to15 or delete21 points, tournaments are typically to 40 points. A ringer can be topped and cancelled by another player, in that case the next closest shoe within 6" gets a point. A ringer cancels the other players point shoes. Only one player can score each inning (4 pitched shoes is an inning). If you don't have a 6" measuring tool, just approximate it by using the width of a shoe across it's opening. If you can touch the stake and createa yourshoe own!in the pit with a horseshoe at the same time it's a point.
That's the basic idea. To find detail rules for playing tournament regulation horseshoes, go to the following link for the National Horseshoe Pitching Association: NHPA Playing Rules
