The horseshoe does not have a frog unless one is made by a farrier. he would heat the metal and make an extension on the shoe to protect the frog, but this is very rarely done. the frog is a triangular shaped part of the hoof. Found on the bottom of the hoof the frog provides support and cushioning for the hoof.
