Thoroughbred offers a complete line of shoes for various purposes, divided into three types: 1 Traditional Horseshoes are flat on one side and have three cleats on the other and are primarily used by players who pitch a "turn" where the shoe is gripped along the side blade and rotates like a frisbee, but very slowly as it flies through the air.
They are gripped in the middle and are designed to fly or "flip" through the air end over end. They're great for sharing with a lot of players.

The pit is oriented centrally so that its long side is parallel to the long edge of the pitch and is filled with sand to absorb the impact of a horseshoe. In the middle of each pit is a metal stake one inch in diameter sticking up fifteen inches above the surface and inclined about three inches from the vertical towards the thrower. The points where each stake intersects the ground are separated by forty feet. The area within the pitching box but outside the pit forms two strips on the right and left and it is these that the players must stand within when throwing their horseshoes.
Where pitching is done behind a line, both feet must remain behind the line while pitching. Horseshoes can be any size in informal games but league competitions will have regulations. Typical strict rules would be that each horseshoe should weigh around two pounds eight ounces, be seven and five eighths inches long, seven inches wide and the gap should be three and a half inches wide.
The Play A coin is tossed to decide who starts and thereafter the player to pitch first alternates with the end. Throws must be underarm. The first player throws both horseshoes at the opposite stake one after the other.
