Using collinear reversible configurations and some properties of symmetry we obtain horseshoe periodic orbits in the general planar three-body problem with masses $m_1\gg m_2 \geq m_3$, which usually represents a system formed by a planet and two small satellites; for instance, the system Saturn-Janus-Epimetheus. For the numerical analysis we have taken the values $m_2/m_1 = 3.5 \times 10^{-4}$ and $m_3/m_1 = 9.7 \times 10^{-5}$ corresponding to $10^5$ times the mass ratios of Saturn-Janus and Saturn-Epimetheus,
Keywords: periodic orbits., General three-body problem, horseshoe orbits.
