How about the guidance in the Intermountain Antiquities Computer System (IMACS) handbook?
Discussion, chronology (western US-biased, of course), and some citations.

Subject: Horseshoes
Hi all,
I'm about to analyse an assesmblage of horseshoes (dating from the late
nineteenth/early twentieth century). This is an artefact type I haven't
dealt with before and was wondering what attributes need to be
recorded. I'm planning to start with some basic measurements, but don't
know what to record beyond that, or what the terms for the different
parts of the horseshoe are. I've had a look around for some ideas but
haven't found anything particularly helpful. Any advice would be much
appreciated.
Cheers,
Katharine
