Calvary horses were shod due to it being mostly tradition. Some horses when ridden under saddle would wear down their hooves too quickly and wind up sore or even lame. So people began shoeing horses a long time ago, around or just before the medieval times when they used iron for the shoes and nails. Though there were other horse'boots' in use by the Romans long before that and were made out of leather and strapped onto the hoof like a sandal.
