I use to disassemble old hard disks to use the Neodymium magnets for other uses. They are quite strong, flat an small you can also divide them in 2 or more parts very easily.

Another way to increase the strength of the magnets is using a non metal against one of the poles, the force is duplicated on the other pole.

Looking to the magnetic field produced by a horse shoe magnet, i think you should need at least 2 neodymium magnets for each pole (north with south and / south with north) to increase the strength
