In the 10th century, Saint Dunstan, a blacksmith, used iron nails to secure a red hot horseshoe onto the hoof of the devil himself, causing him great pain. In exchange for the devil's respect for the horseshoe and its power to keep evil spirits and bad luck out of homes, Dunstan agreed to never remove the shoe. This legend has been passed down through generations, making horseshoes a popular symbol of good luck and protection.In Irish folklore, the lucky horseshoe has a special place, although it is often associated with Western cowboy culture. It is believed that being a blacksmith was a lucky trade and iron, the material used to make horseshoes, was considered magical for its ability to withstand fire. 

Horseshoes with seven nails are especially lucky as seven has always been a lucky number.Over the years, the legend of the horseshoe has evolved and people have added their own superstitions and beliefs. In the Middle Ages, people would hang horseshoes above their doors to ward off witches, who were said to be afraid of horses and their iron shoes. Nowadays, people still hang horseshoes above their doors, with the belief that hanging it in a "U" shape will keep evil out and bring good luck into their home.Whether you believe in the legend or not, there's no denying the charm and beauty of this lucky horseshoe. It's not just a symbol of luck, but also a piece of history and tradition. So hang it in your home and let the good luck flow in.
