The horseshoe

In many countries, the horseshoe is the most revered symbol of good luck, a talisman, an amulet or just a logo, a symbolic way of warding off misfortune and protecting a home from evil forces. It has long been thought that finding a horseshoe brings happiness and success. People took it home to nail near a threshold, to hang above the door, or a chimney, put on the window or give to good friends.
