I was going to attach this to the “How to Affix The Iron Staple” thread but didn’t want to hijack it.
Just to make sure a staple doesn’t come out, folks get a little excited if that happens. I put a couple of little barbs on each leg. Just be careful not to tap it in too far, put a screw driver under it for support. This just my method done for security.
This is pretty basic but it may be of some help. A couple of the pics are not the best but they show the idea.

Taper one end of the wire
The first bend, a half inch or so
The second bend, Yes one leg is a little longer, I should have trimmed it off
Clipped off, taper filed and locked in vice
Use a small chisel or graver and raise a couple barbs in the lower portion of the leg
Drill under size holes in the horn and tap staple in
