Location Map of Horseshoes, GTA San Andreas

Click on the map to open it full size

Unlike other GTA games where you’ll find hidden packages which spawn weapons in your safehouses the more you collect, GTA San Andreas has two different types of objects to find – Oysters and Horseshoes.

Oysters increase Carl’s sex appeal whereas Horseshoes not only increase his sex appeal, but also will spawn four powerful weapons at the Four Dragon’s Casino, including the SMG, M4, satchel bombs and the Combat Shotgun, all well worth having.

There are two main obstacles to collecting all the horseshoes, even if you know where they are thanks to our handy map. First, they are only found on the third island, Las Venturas and secondly many of them are in such inaccessible positions that you’ll need to have completed the Verdant Meadows mission to get hold of the jetpack. You can reach them with some helicopter and parachute skills, but it’s much harder.

So, where are all the horseshoes located? Click on the map on this article and read the descriptions below. It’s worth doing them in order as it’s easy to forget which ones you’ve collected…

2. On the north side of the south eastern of the group of eight tennis courts
3. On the north side of the swimming pool in the middle of the set of apartments just to the west of the tennis courts for no.2

5. By the front door of the right hand (as you look at the front doors) of the two houses by the railway line
6. A nice easy one to find. At the bottom of the ‘Welcome to Las Venturas’ sign

31. Just next to the northerly of the two Venturas Steaks Driv Thru signs and up on the roof

45. To the north of the set of turrets is an octagonal shaped platform with no turret on it. The horseshoe is right in the middle of it
