How to hang a horseshoe
Below are various ways on how to hang a horseshoe, starting from the easy one to the difficult one:
1. Hang the horseshoe on your wall using a nail.
The horseshoe can be hanged on the wall by using a nail. The nail should be hammered into the wall, and then the horseshoe is put into the space in between it to hang it up. This is a simple way for how to hang a horseshoe. However, you need to hammer in a sturdy nail for it to support your weight, not just any ordinary nails that you can find on everyday objects such as pencils and toothpicks.
2. Put two pegs from both ends of the horseshoe on your wall.
One end of the horseshoe can be hung by putting two pegs from both ends of the horseshoe on your wall. The horseshoe will be hanging on the wall when both the pegs are pushed into the wall. The horseshoe will not be dangling down as there are no nails to hold it.
3. Put a nail into a hole near the top of the horseshoe.
The horseshoe can be hung if you put a nail into a hole near the top of the horseshoe and screw a stick on it. You will not have to use pegs as you can just hang the horseshoe by using the stick and your wall’s nails tightly attached with wood screw with protruding heads. This is also an easy way how to hang a horseshoe on your ceiling or wall, but you will need special tools such as power drill, extension cord and screwdriver in order to use this way of hanging.
4. Hanging a horseshoe on a thin wire.
You can hang your horseshoe on a thin wire by only putting one peg into the wall. It will be easy to walk in front of your horseshoe without touching it, making it look like an ornament instead of a horse race decoration. The reason why you need to put only one peg into the wall is because for two pegs, it will make it look like it is leaning to one side.
5. Drill holes on both ends of the horseshoe.
It is important for you to drill holes on both ends of the horseshoe in order to have a good use for it. There are many ways in which you can drill holes on both ends of the horseshoe, but one way is by using an ice skate screwdriver and drilling bits, which can be found in any hardware stores. The other way is to use a power drill which has an air compressor and hole-saw attachment, as well as a hole-saw attachment, or similar tool that can make different shapes such as circles, semicircles and so on.
6. Using two nails to hang it on your ceiling or wall.
You can hang the horseshoe on your ceiling or wall by using two pieces of nails on both ends of the horseshoe. Make sure that the nails are long enough to hold the weight of your horseshoe. Place them in a circular hole as this will make it look like a horseshoe hanging sideways from the ceiling or wall.
7. Hanging it on a metal beam or pipe with rope.
You can hang your horseshoe on a metal beam or pipe with rope. There is no need to drill holes as you can use rope and a hole cutter to cut the hole on both sides of the horseshoe. You can even use a chain if you do not have any holes on your ceiling or wall as long as it is long enough to hang it. This is an easy way how to hang a horseshoe, but you need to make sure that the pipe or beam will not break as it will be hanging your horseshoe and your weight on it.
8. Put it at the top of a door or wall.
The horseshoe can just be put at the top of a door or wall instead of hanging it. Hanging it is just an option for people who do not have any space on their ceiling or walls, especially if people have a limited space such as in apartments. Hanging the horseshoe is still a common way to spread good luck on both your home and business, even if it is only put at the top of your door or wall. You can use nails to hang it but only long enough to reach the top of the door or wall.

9. Hanging it on a hoop for taking photos.
You may hang the horseshoe on a hoop for taking photos, although you can also crawl under it and take photos from your own perspective.

This is not just a horseshoe hanging on wires but an art worth hanging over your door.
10. Hanging it with clothespins.
Some people may just prefer to hang their horseshoe on clothespins so that it will be easy to use and set up. Hanging a horseshoe with clothespins is also a good way to spread luck as people will see the horseshoe hanging around the clothespins.
