You need to solve the following puzzle.
Puzzle: Beginner to Novice
The horseshoe is considered very lucky and used to be hung in many homes to protect and attract good fortune for the family residing inside. As with many superstitions, there are contradictions to be found with the beliefs associated with the horseshoe. For instance, many believe that to hang it with the ends pointing upwards is good luck as it acts as a storage container of sorts for any good luck that happens to be floating by, whereas to hang it with the ends pointing down, is bad luck as all the good luck will fall out. Others believe that no matter which way you hang the horseshoe, good luck will come. According to this superstition, the ends-pointing-down display simply means that the good luck is able to flow out and surround the home. If the horseshoe is hung over a doorway, ends up will catch good luck and ends down will let the good luck spill over the door and stop evil from entering.
Horseshoes were also considered lucky because they were made by blacksmiths, which is also considered a very lucky trade. Because they worked with elemental fire and magical iron, they were thought to have special powers.
Horseshoes were originally made from iron, which may also account for the superstitions that are associated with this object. Iron was considered magical because it was able to withstand fire and was much stronger than other metals. The superstitions for iron are thought to originate in prehistoric times. It was used as a charm to ward off evil spirits.
Another aspect of the horseshoe that added to it's good luck was the fact that it was commonly held in place by seven iron nails, but that's a whole other superstition we'll leave for another time.

Logging Etiquette:
1. Bring a pen, pencil, or stamper whenever you are caching.
Geocaching.com Guidelines on Logging: You must sign the physical log in the container in order to claim an on-line smiley.
I will delete any logs that have not signed the physical log sheet.
2. Many CO's (Cache Owners) aka Geocache hiders go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on what you liked about any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required.
Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache.
3. Please have fun and tell about your adventure, but make sure you don't give SPOILERS about the cache container or hide. Any logs that tell details about the type of container, or hide I will request that you change your log...if the log hasn't been changed I will delete it and request that you re-log it. Sorry, but that's part of the fun of finding and should be part of the fun for you to figure out how to write a log without giving away certain details.
Please keep these tips in mind when entering your log. Thank you!
In accordance to GC suggestions the Ratings are based on the MOST DIFFICULT piece even though there may be portions that are easier. More experienced/advanced Puzzle solvers may find this less challenging; others may require more research or greater assistance.
Additional notes:
* You don't have to find these caches.
* It is appreciated that solvers do NOT pass coords around as that devalues the actual DIFFICULTY rating. I WILL change the location and puzzle without notice if it becomes necessary to preserve my puzzle, don't be the one to ruin it for everyone else. You do NOT need every cache published. If it's too difficult, click on the IGNORE button at the top!
* All Logs in this series are on "Rite in the Rain" paper. The log may feel wet, just shake it out a bit as the log is actually fine and won't turn to pulp. Thank you.
