Shoeing, no. That's a medieval development.
And I'm afraid that I have little or no knowledge of Ancient Greek horseflesh. I have some minimal knowledge of Roman Republican ones, but I've never investigated the question in earlier periods.
I can hazard a guess that they'd be small, enough to count as ponies in the modern day.
