You can pick out the middle of the hoof if needed but you must be very careful about it. Typically the middle of the frog is left alone due to the increased ability to damage it when being cleaned out, but you can use either a very dull hoof pick or your finger to scrape away anything that may be stuck. As for the sole of the hoof it is perfectly fine to clean that area with a hoof pick.

With gentle downstrokes, away from you. Never dig into the crevices or directly in to the frog.

Use this brush to loosen debris that is packed into the crevices of the frog and the little crack at the bulb of the heel (which is the back of the foot)and then continue to use the pick until the hoof is clean.
