Title: Portable folding indoor-outdoor horseshoe court

Abstract: A portable horseshoe court is disclosed comprising a horizontally disposed frame having forward and rearward ends and opposite sides. A first pitcher's platform is positioned on the frame adjacent one side thereof and extends between the forward and rearward ends thereof. A second pitcher's platform is provided on the frame adjacent the other sides thereof which also extends between the forward and rearward ends thereof. A pan is positioned on the frame between the platforms and is capable of containing or receiving dirt therein. A stake is secured to the pan and extends upwardly from the pan equi-distantly between the platforms. A normally upstanding backstop has its lower end pivotally connected to the rearward end of the frame whereby the backstop may be selectively pivoted from its normal upstanding position behind the frame to a substantially horizontal transport position extending over the platforms and the pan. When the backstop is folded downwardly to its transport position, the entire court may be easily transported to a different location.
