I can not give you an exact date, but shoeing horses probably started around the time when horses were being used for transportation and sport by the europeans (and other travelers). First Nations obviously wouldn't do that, for wild horses do fine on the ground they are on, but when europeans and travelers began the "Riding of the Horse", they most likely found it necessary to protect the horses feet. Now, it's usually used for horses that are riden alot OR horses that go on hard ground a lot (ex. Gravel, concrete, etc..) I don't use horse shoes on my Arabian because we only ride on grass, and on the good summer days we'll take a little ride on gravel but horse shoes are not really needed for my horses. Same with trail horses. Soft ground= no true need for horseshoes.
I heard that people started it when people began keeping horses in small cooped up areas because there they stood in their waste, which weakened the hooves, so when they were ridden on the cobblestone roads, the hooves shattered. Before then, horses were fine barefoot regardless of the terrain.
