No, a horse shoe is hung with the tail up to hold the luck within. An "upside-down" horseshoe isn't bad luck, it just doesn't hold good luck. My father used to put horseshoes upside down over doorways to drop the goodluck inside them upon whom ever passed through the doorway.
An upside down horseshoe is sometimes considered to be a symbol of bad luck as it is believed to let the luck spill out. In contrast, a right-side up horseshoe is thought to be a symbol of good luck and protection.
This is an old belief that a horseshoe tacked up upright will fill with good luck and an upside down horseshoe will drain your good luck.
A horse shoe is traditionally hung with the ends up. This is to hold or keep the luck in. Hanging a horse shoe with the open side down is not so much bad luck as it is to let your luck run out.
A hores shoe hung over the door in a U shape is supposed to be good luck but an upside down one is bad luck.
Yes unfortunately but if you put it up then all the luck is kept in! Put it on your door to ward off evil spirts
The superstition is that if you hang a horseshoe upside down, your household's luck will pour out of the opening and drain away; whereas if you hang it right side up (with the opening at the top) the luck will collect and be available as needed.
Horse shoes are only lucky if the open side is facing up, otherwise the luck falls out!
not catching luck
It is not a protest, when the American flag is flown upside down it is a warning that the base has been captured.
Yes it is very good luck. I know this because when i did this in class i managed to prove my mate wrong, as the luck was i stumbled on to this question on Answers.com and nothing bad happened :)
a horseshoe is good luck. the horseshoe holds your luck if it is upside down then your are getting your luck if i it right side up "U" then you are saving your luck. if it is sideways then you are getting a little of your luck at a time when you need it. Clever answer up there... It's actuall the tire pressure warning light. If one of your tires have low pressure it will come on.
