A compact survey notes horseshoes as ancient lucky talismans across cultures from Egypt and Turkestan nomads to medieval England. It cites parish and castle gates in Leicestershire and Hutland, and Lancaster’s Horseshoe Corner where John of Gaunt’s horse supposedly cast the first shoe. The belief links more nails to greater luck.
