Horseshoe Players Keep the Tradition Alive at CVE

The CVE Horseshoe Team meets every Sunday morning at 9 a.m. at the horseshoe pits next to the gazebo, where residents gather for a friendly but competitive round of this classic game. Players aim to toss a horseshoe across the sand pit and land it around the stake—a “ringer,” worth three points. A “leaner,” where the shoe rests against the stake, earns two points, while any shoe landing within one horseshoe’s distance scores a single point. If both teams score ringers in the same round, the points cancel out. The first team to reach 11 points wins.

The weekly game is open to both men and women, with regular players including Joe, Phil, Billy, Joanne, Idola, Allan, Mike, and others. Residents are invited to join the group, enjoy the camaraderie, and take part in a fun Sunday morning tradition.
