Abstract: A portable horseshoe court includes a support frame, an elongated horseshoe stake, and a stake support block secured to the frame for supporting the stake in a generally upright position. The block has a hole through the top thereof which is adapted to axially receive the stake in press-fit relation therein. A plurality of flexible springs or the like are extended between and connected to opposite sides of the frame and a rubber pad, having a hole for the stake, rests on the frame and springs. The hole in the stake support block may be provided with an abutment member to fix the axial position of the stake therein. The frame may be a peripheral frame comprising oppositely disposed frame members having a pad support flange along the top side thereof. The top sides of the springs are arranged in the plane of the pad support flanges. An elongated chain connects a pair of courts to fix the regulation distance between them. Absent the rubber pad and flexible support springs, the support frame and stake support block combination may be buried in the ground or the like to securely anchor a horseshoe stake in upright relation in the ground.
