A good place to start is with the Finds Research Group AD700-1700 Datasheet Number 4, 1986, by John Clark (Medieval Horseshoes). This can be ordered on the Finds Research Group website. In it he discusses the appearance of the horse show in the English Archaeological Record. Also his book "The Medieval Horse and its Equipment c1150-c1450", though these might be too western Europe focused, but might be a good, and accessible place to start.
I believe he is an Honorary Reader in University College London, so perhaps could be contacted by email.
