No, there are no knuckles in a hoof.
Horses do have frogs,a frog is located on the bottom of the hoof. If you look closely when you pick the hoof you will see a part of the hoof that looks like a frog's foot. Yup, but it is very delicate and important to the horse, so be very careful when you use the hoof pick, you don't want to stab the soft tissue.
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.
The front part of the hoof is called the toe.
