Nobody is 100% certain who made the very first horseshoes. Some say the Druids, others say the Romans. We do know that the Romans invented the hipposandal, a leather hoof cover that tied onto the hoof, much like todays hoof boots.
There is some evidence of bronze horseshoes from 400B.C that were found in a Etruscan tomb.
Nailed on shoes don't seem to be mentioned until after AD 500 or 600, and they were around by AD 900, though a shoe complete with nails was found to date back to the 5th century AD.
It is thought that perhaps wood was used before metal, since metals were extremely valuable at those times. If wood was used prior to metal, then there would likely be no evidence left of them as the wood would have decayed by the time archaeologists excavated any sites containing such shoes.
