It is probable that the use of the name 'Horseshoe' in a pub name is quite straight-forward.
In days gone by pubs would no have had signs as we now know them, but maybe a branch,a broom, a vine, or similar.
A horseshoe is a symbol of good luck. Three horseshoes three times the luck. They should always be pointing up so that the luck doesn't fall out.
