Generally not. If there are parts that can be easily removed with your fingers, these can be pulled off. If there are parts that have thrush behind them, there is a good case for opening up (with a hoof knife) a quick rinse with a weak bleach solution and allowing the frog to dry. However if you are asking this question, it probably indicates you should be getting some help with doing this.
Remember that a horse is likely to put a great deal more pressure and force on their frog than you can do with your hands. If you need to 'clean up' the frog, it will need to be done with sharp tools. These can cut both you and your horse if not used correctly. If you think your horse's entire frog is 'loose' you should seek an opinion from someone who regularly trims hooves to ensure there is nothing unusual happening.
Along with the good answer above it should be noted that horses can and do shed their frogs once a year in some areas. Typically no one See's it happening as it comes off in the pasture or while being ridden, however the frog can be slow to shed sometimes. You should ask a farrier or equine veterinarian if this is also a possibility.

Not if your inexperienced with handling and training horses. If you were an experienced horse-person or have done your research on what it takes to tame a wild horse you wouldn't need to ask this question.

What are the last checks to be done before mounting a horse?
If you mean do you check that the saddle is still tight on the horse, absolutely! Check your girth; ideally, it should be tight enough that you can slide your fingers under it, but you can't lift it up from the horse's side. Also check your girth if you've been riding for a while but plan to do some work that will involve galloping or tight turns. This is an extremely important thing; a loose saddle can slide off a horse and cause you to fall. I've done this and wound up with a moderate concussion and back damage. And always wear a helmet when you ride; it can save your life!Check the girth Check the stirrups And check that the horse ahs gone to the saddle

Could you put meat tenderizer on a sarcoidosis tumor on a horse?
No, you should have a equine veterinarian come out and biopsy the tumor to see how aggressive it is. Once that is done the vet can tell you what treatment is best for your horse. meat tenderizer has been used on proud flesh, but not on sarcoids as it will not do anything to the sarcoid other than possibly irritate the horse.
