No, a horse shoe is hung with the tail up to hold the luck within. An "upside-down" horseshoe isn't bad luck, it just doesn't hold good luck.
My father used to put horseshoes upside down over doorways to drop the goodluck inside them upon whom ever passed through the doorway.
A horse shoe is traditionally hung with the ends up. This is to hold or keep the luck in. Hanging a horse shoe with the open side down is not so much bad luck as it is to let your luck run out.
A hores shoe hung over the door in a U shape is supposed to be good luck but an upside down one is bad luck.
The superstition is that if you hang a horseshoe upside down, your household's luck will pour out of the opening and drain away; whereas if you hang it right side up (with the opening at the top) the luck will collect and be available as needed.
An old superstition says to turn one of your shoes upside down if your sleep is disturbed by a barking dog
Yes unfortunately but if you put it up then all the luck is kept in! Put it on your door to ward off evil spirts
Toe down and heels up so that the luck doesn't run out.

A horse shoe often symbolizes luck, good luck, or a lucky charm.
