When I was a kid I used to think Horseshoes were actual boots that you put on horses feet, and I didn't see them on any horses in movies because the horses would fling them off at a gallop speed

    That's an entertaining theory.

    I knew what they were because my dad had a horseshoe game set and I had seen something about hanging horseshoes so the luck didn't fall out, but I didn't know they were actually used with horses for an embarrassingly long time.
