The tradition of hanging a horseshoe for luck dates back to ancient times and has its roots in Irish folklore. Legend has it that in the 10th century, a blacksmith named Saint Dunstan had a fateful encounter with the devil. The devil requested a horseshoe from Dunstan, who then nailed a red hot horseshoe to one of the devil's hooves. In great pain, the devil begged for the horseshoe to be removed, and Dunstan agreed on the condition that the devil never enter a place where a horseshoe was hung above the door. This superstition grew, with people believing that the horseshoe could keep bad luck and evil spirits out of their homes. The horseshoe is also considered lucky due to its association with the magical properties of iron, as well as being a trade of skilled blacksmiths. You may have also noticed that most horseshoes have seven nails in them - a number often associated with luck. This tradition has continued through the centuries, with people adding onto the legend of the horseshoe.
