Women and any man over 65 can Pitch Horseshoes too and get a Ten Foot Advantage according to the official rules. Brook is getting so good at throwing from the shortened distance, we're thinking of shipping her off to Miami :-) My second wife had great eye / hand coordination too and a 163 ten pin bowling average. I throw some pretty good shoes but she challenged me every time (and from the regular distance). Today's women can do it all! Here is a link to the rules mandated by the NHPA.
Great form!! She's practicing from the regular distance.
It's time to have some fun in the the Sunshine State! Give me a call anytime.

I love to throw horse shoes but don't know the rules. I will have to go look for those so I can play my cousins and beat their he-men pants!
You know what John! I'm sitting here looking at those pictures, and I had a thought! I should put in a couple spikes in my backyard for horseshoes. I know nothing other than I've watched others play. How far apart do those spikes need to be anyway?
Hi John,
Looks like a lot of fun in the sunshine state. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
Sussie - Here is a link to the rules mandated by the NHPA. Now go beat their butts!
Hi Myrl - Go to the link I posted for Sussie to learn more. The pegs need to be 40' apart and the pits have to be a certain size too but in a backyard setting, you can bend the rules a little :-).
Hi William - It's not as easy as it looks. It takes great eye / hand coordination, a balanced throw and concentration. You should try it!
Hi Kristin - It's always nice to hear from you. Have a great week!
