Is it dangerous to have horses in a pasture with back shoes on?
No, provided your horse isn't prone to kicking other horses it may be pastured with. A shod hoof can do more damage than a bare one to another horse. Otherwise there should be no reason you cannot pasture a horse that is shod on the back feet.

I know that horses need shoes to protect their hooves for modern use but why do horses need shoes when they never did before man got involved?
Horses that compete in shows require shoes for the horses own well being. Before humans began domesticating horses, they were always able to wander wherever they pleased, which was anywhere where there weren't roads. Roads are much harder on a horses hooves than in the wild, where the earth was not compressed to be a smooth uncomfortable path. A horse that uses roads without horseshoes can become lame, have their hoof split, and other dangerous mutilations that could lead to putting a horse down. Now though, horseshoes can be replaced with equine boots, though a horse has to get used to them for a little while.
