The horseshoe is universally known as a symbol of protection and good luck. The amalgamation of luck, protection and religion have made the horseshoe a good luck charm that wards off evil and misfortune. The belief in the horseshoes have its origin both, in ancient Greece and Christianity.

For instance, many believe that to hang a horseshoe with the ends pointing upward, is good luck as it acts as a storage container for any good luck that happens to be floating by, whereas to hang it with the ends pointing down is bad luck because all the good luck will fall out.
