If you have played horseshoes, it is played in a pit, usually of sand, with two metal stakes that are placed anywhere from 20 to 40 feet apart, usually depending on the age of the people who are playing. Obviously, the primary difference between horseshoes versus cornhole bean toss is the weight of the horseshoe. Horseshoes are heavy, metal objects and tossing them can be a challenge, even for an adult, unless they are plastic shoes.
