Points up, or points down? And probably none of the faerie folk were
much attracted by the cold iron in horseshoes.

I'm asking, because I recently ran across an old, well-worn one that had
been worn by one of my uncle's favorite horses, certainly well over
fifty years ago (I've had it myself that long), and thought I'd hang it
over the door, but I remember that there was a difference on which way,
and of course I would _like_ to invite the friendly ones in. Maybe
combine it with a Dreamcatcher for a sieve?
