Horseshoes is an outdoor game played between two people, or two teams of two people, using four horseshoes and two throwing targets (stakes) set in a sandbox area.

August 7th photograph of Cob Horses at the Travelling People and Gypsy Festival at Lochore Meadows Country Park, Fife, Scotland. Cob is a term used to describe a type of horse that is small, usually of a stout build, with strong bones, large joints, and steady disposition. The term refers to a body type of horse rather than a specific breed. Historically, in the United Kingdom and, to a lesser extent, the eastern United States, it was also a word used to describe a common horse used for everyday riding.

Tour Scotland travel video of a Clydesdale Horse named " Jock, " an award winning Clydesdale horse at the agricultural show on visit and trip to Perth, Scotland. " Jock " is 8 years of age, and from Glasgow. The Clydesdale is a breed of draught horse derived from the farm horses of Clydesdale, Scotland, and named after that region. Although originally one of the smaller breeds of draught horses, it is now a tall breed. Often bay in colour, they show significant white markings due to the presence of sabino genetics. The breed was originally used for agriculture and haulage, and is still used for draught purposes today. The Budweiser Clydesdales are some of the most famous Clydesdales, and other members of the breed are used as drum horses by the British Household Cavalry.
