For the horseshoe idea, you could get a luggage beeper from a
department store and clip it on or very nearby the base pole. Luggage
beepers are a great (and cheaper) alternative to most auditory
blindness-specific instruments. Balls with bells in them or beepers
often stop working, or skew the sound due to centripetal force--
luggage beepers and plastic bags tend to be the most multipurpose.
