The next activity that is aimed at bringing the city together has the beauty of the horses and a ballet slipper but with an added twist and a fun treasure hunt.

What Are The Horseshoes Themes and Where Can We Look for Them?

The three hundred horseshoes will all be Spa City themed with health, history, and horses. They will be placed on public property in parks and trails throughout Saratoga Springs according to Saratogatodaynewspaper.com. The hidden horseshoes will be at eye level and no ladders or shovels are required. No horseshoes can be found on private property. If you do find more than one, you are asked to leave it for someone else.

The specific venues to look for the painted horseshoes are:
