A black substance around the frog is often thrush. Thrush is a disease that usually occurs because the horse is living in filth or a dirty stall for long periods.
The Frog
Horses "feet" are called hooves. There are several parts; the hoof wall, and the frog are the main ones. The wall is the fingernail like substance that makes up the hoof, while the frog is the flesh-like part in the middle.
The frog on the bottom of a horses hoof sheds off once or twice a year. So long as there is no bad odor or goo coming from it it is likely fine. If you are very concerned you could call and ask your farrier for advise.
This triangle thing on a horses' hooveis called the frog. When you clean the horses' hooves, you have to be careful of the frog. It's sensitive.
No it should not. Your horses frog may be infected. The frog in a horses hoof is supposed to be softer than the rest of the hoof, but it should NOT be spongy.
If your horses frog looks weird, if you know how to treat it do it yourself but if you are not sure about it phone a vet and tell it to come and help you.
if you're looking at the underside of the horse's hoof, you'll see a triangular part called the frog. Be careful around the frog when you're picking the dirt off your horses hoof because that part is very sensitive.
The frog on the violin has had many questions on why it was called that. There has also been varied reasons from people. Some reasons found, were either related to figurative meanings and the making of the bow. The tool used to make the frog of the bow is a vice like tool and is said to be shaped and fashioned after that. Another theory is that the phrase 'frog' is also found when referring to horses. The bottom of horses' feet are often called frogs or 'frosh' (from where frog is derived), and the frog on the bow is located at the bottom. I.e., frog would mean bottom. Two other reasons thought about the frog are less word orientated as to names and playing the violin. When one gives too much pressure on the frog while playing the violin, it tends to bounce and give and uneven sound to playing; resembling a frog. The other would be derived from the man's name who invented the frog on the bow. His name is Helmut Gorf, and his last name, if spelled backwards, spells 'frog'. Another reason given tends to be that the frog of the bow somewhat resemble the vague profile of a frog. When the bow is held upside down (especially with Viola and Cello bows which tend to have curved backs at the end) the frog piece actually looks something like a tree frog on a branch holding the horse hair in its mouth.
It is called a frog.
