          Sculptures and drawings that date from the 2nd millennium BC show men and women on horseback.

          The saddle probably originated in the societies of the Asian steppes (as well as the the stirrup and the horse collar) and received a high degree of development in medieval Europe.

          It is unknown who invented the first horseshoe.

          Early Asian horsemen used horse booties made from leather and plants. During the first century, the Romans made leather and metal shoes called "hipposandals". By the 6th and 7th centuries, European horsemen had begun nailing metal shoes to horses' hooves.

          Oscar E. Brown received his patent for the improved horseshoe on August 3, He produced a double or compound horseshoe that involves an upper shoe that is.

          Around 1000 AD, cast bronze horseshoes with nail holes had became common in Europe. The 13th and 14th centuries brought the widespread manufacturing of iron horseshoes. Hot-shoeing, the process of heating the horseshoe before shoeing the horse, became common in the 16th century. 

          All before the first horseshoe was ever patented.
