娱乐性解释：
To dream of a horseshoe, indicates advance in business and lucky engagements for women. To see them broken, ill fortune and sickness is portrayed. To find a horseshoe hanging on the fence, denotes that your interests will advance beyond your most sanguine expectations. To pick one up in the road, you will receive profit from a source you know not of.
