The placement of a horseshoe above a door is a hotly debated topic. Some argue that it should go right side up, the horseshoe catching luck and giving luck to the home; others argue the shoe should be upside down, pouring good luck on visitors.

I remember reading another reason about the opening at the bottom.
The horseshoe wasn't about luck, but protection and the fact of it being iron. Sadly I forget the details. Not sure even if Irish or English belief.

@Godyssey If you only have one nail down is better.
