Hi Joy,

As a matter of fact, I have also found horseshoes in no less than 3 buses/vanagons that my family have acquired over the years.

That rates higher than 15% occurrence rate, if you want to get all statistical on it, but it is a pretty small sample of the overall population and regional factors may also apply.

Unusual, yes; but not quite "weird", at least not by my standards*.

Happy Trails,

* Speaking of my standards in regards to statistics in this case, rather than my standards for cultural weirdness, which some may consider a bit more relaxed than average.
