The back cover reads:
Since 1976 the National
Horseshoe Pitchers Association of America has grown five hundred
percent in size, and now includes 20,000 members. The
number of horseshoes players continues to grow among
younger people especially. Why this increasing popularity?
The sports can be played by anyone, alone or with others.
It requires only portable and inexpensive equipment;
and it is mentally stimulating as well as physically
challenging. Like a good coach, Horseshoes leads the
novice pitcher from the origins of the game, through
the current rules and techniques, and into the ways
of continually improving ones's game.
- Official rules of the National
Horseshoe Pitchers Association of America
- Court layout diagrams
- Basic grip, stance, and swing techniques
- Anecdotes and advice from the experts
The review from Mike Tribby at Booklist
is below:
"The rules of horseshoes have changed over the years, for much the same
reason pro football's have: to encourage more scoring. In 1909 the stakes protruded
only 2 inches above ground, whereas today they tower 14 inches. The distance
between the stakes, the size and weight of the horseshoes, and, of course, the
strategy of the game have all evolved, too. Boga recounts horseshoes history
in this handbook's opening chapter, then gets down to the real point--how to
play the game right and well. He describes styles of pitching (i.e., various
turns and the popular "flip" technique), the proper grip, stance, and swing,
and "winning the mental game." Moreover, he advocates a holistic approach that
involves visualization, focus, and concentration. With nearly half the book devoted
to the official rules and master schedules for tournaments, and considering Boga's
clear instruction and obvious dedication, this is a book for the serious player." Mike
