Why are Horse Shoes considered to be so lucky? 

Where did this idea originate from?

The story of the lucky horseshoe dates back to Saint Dunstan who was a blacksmith whom later became ArchBishop of Canterbury.  The legend of this archbishop story stems from his own personal run in with the devil.  There are many variations of this tale but all of these tales have the same ending although every version of the story depicts a different way that the outcome came to be - the moral of the story is that this ArchBishop defeated the devil by nailing a red hot horseshoe to the devils hoof causing the devil severe pain.  The Archbishop made a deal with the devil to remove the fiery hot horseshoe as long as be promised to never enter a house or any establishment that was decorated with a horseshoe hung above the entrance of their doors.

Our Ancient Ancestors have believed HORSESHOES to be a most PROTECTIVE AMULET.  

Iron Horseshoes are believed to be the most powerful due to the iron being birthed from the marriage of rock & fire... Iron & fire being 2 of the most basic of elements used in Ancient times... 

In fairy tales, horses are often depicted as prophetic creatures whom have magical powers. Horses are symbols of:
 supremacy
 generosity
 courage

  Horses tying hand-in-hand with medieval chivalry. The horse carrying its master into battlefield in honor of their 
 king
 country
faith

The horse goddess, Epona, whom is also associated with water

 death

Horses were also sacrificed in Celtic Europe and would become their master's soul mounts for the symbolic ride of death.
