Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

I don't think horses can walk backwards, or wear horseshoes backwards.

But can they wear horseshoes backwards?

Ok, I'm going for originality points here. :)
They walked to the cliff and skydived (or skydove; whatever it is) off the cliff. They pulled their ripcords and parachutes came out. They were never really stolen, they just ran away. They were found several towns away because they floated that way with their parachutes.
