The frog is a sensitive part of the horse's hoof. If the hoof is protected with a horseshoe and the horse is not worked over excessively stony terrain, frog injuries are relatively uncommon but may leave the horse lame for quite some time. This sounds like an internet trick question. I have never heard of releasing a horse's frog.

What is the part of horse known as the frog?

The frog is a part of the horses' hoof. It is the triangle shaped, somewhat spongy part of the horses' foot. It acts as a shock absorber. Although a the frog absorbs a lot of the shock of the horses weight striking the ground, this does not mean that the horses' feet are indestructible. For example, you should never gallop your horse on pavement. The health of the frog is very important to the overall health of your horse and its feet. Afterall, the horses feet is their foundation. The hooves should be cleaned daily and trimmed by a knowledgeable farrier anywhere from every 4 to every 8 weeks. The frog is a pump. A horses heart is not large enough for it's body. If a horse is penned fro long periods of time, they are at risk of becoming lame. Why? Not enough blood circulation to the extremities. When the horse's leg is raised, the membrane known as the "frog", fills with blood. When stepped down upon the blood is "squished", for lack of a better word, back to the heart through the veins. In essence, these little "helpers" ensure blood flow. I got this and other amazing facts from the "Creatures that defy evolution" from Netflix. I do not remember which episode, there are a few. It is an education series well worth watching.

Stalls for draft horses should be larger and more spacious compared to stalls for regular-sized horses, as draft horses are larger and need more room to move around comfortably. The stalls should also be well-bedded and have high ceilings to accommodate their height.
