yes you can. Just because a horse is shod doesn't mean that it's feet won't hold debris. The metal shoe only sits along the outer hoof wall, and it's the frog part of the foot that collects the most debris, and is most likely to get infected if you don't take care of it.

Yes you can and should. You should clean out their hooves just before any time you ride and check the hooves daily on days you don't ride.
