The truth is that nobody really knows where the idea originates from. Blacksmiths were considered almost magic-like with their skills of fire and forge and some religious association has been given to the shape and design of a horseshoe. In any case, the horseshoe is still seen as a sign of luck for many and hung in households and outhouses across the UK. Lucksome uses the horseshoe to good effect for their company logo and some of their video slot features.
