    Huachas  is similar to horseshoes,Washers is a game of skill, played by two or more contestants. It involves competitors taking turns tossing washers toward a box or hole. Scoring can be done either by making it in the hole or getting close to it. The name has been called washer pitching, washer toss, washers, huachas or washoes which is based on the similarity to horseshoes. If you like Horseshoes you will enjoy pitching washers. It is a great fun, and can be enjoyed by everyone. 

New Mexico​

​
     In Las Cruces, New Mexico, huachas (a Spanish name for washers) uses washers with 2 1⁄2-in outside diameter and 1-in inside diameter. Washers are thrown into a 3- or 4-in hole, with the two holes placed 25 or 30 ft apart. A 5 ft × 3 ft area around the cup, called the "pit", may be framed with wood or tape and filled with soil. The player whose washer lands closest to the hole earns one point, and landing the washer in the hole will garner four points. A "hanger" is a washer teetering on the edge of the hole, and can earn a player extra points. The first player to reach 21 points is the winner.
