3 horses equal 30 so a horse = 10 points.
1 horse plus two pairs of horseshoes equals 18 points, so a pair of horseshoes = 4.
A pair of horseshoes minus a pair of cowboy boots equals 2, so a pair of cowboy boots equal 2.
So a singular cowboy boot (1) + One horse (10) x One Horseshoe (2) = 22?
I think.
1 horse plus two pairs of horseshoes equals 18 points, so a pair of horseshoes = 4.

The multiplication comes first so it is 10 X2 (20) +1 = 21

For some reason I thought the O in BODMAS stood for order, as in the order the sum was in. Complete brain fart.

Surely it is 1 + 10 x 2 = 22 Why are people suggesting the multiplication first it is in the order it is written.

Because the rule is not order written. The rule is brackets then exponents then division/multiplication and lastly addition/subtraction.
See BODMAS above. Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction is the order in which these equations are calculated.
