It depends on the breed and hoof wall stimulation and health of the hoof really. But in general, 1/4-1/2 a inch a month. Drafts tend to grow hoof wall a lot faster. I work on a draft cross mare's hooves and she grows about an inch of hoof wall in four weeks.
For Howrse Archimedes question: 1/4 - 1/2 inch. :)
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.
Yes, a horse's hoof grows approximately 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch each month. It is important to regularly trim or shoe a horse's hooves to maintain proper hoof health and conformation. Regular hoof care is essential in preventing issues such as lameness and discomfort for the horse.

A horses foot is called the Hoof. The Hoof is the hard part on the bottom of the horses leg. Horses hooves are like our fingernails, actually they are made out of the same thing.

you use the hoof pick to pick the debris out of the hoof and you can rinse the horses hoof out with the hose.

Foals can and adult horses as well, although the ability is slowly lost as the horse grows and matures.
A graze just above a horses hoof.

This is the hoof wall. This is the hardest part of the hoof and it supports the horses weight.

Hoof horn growth is approximately 1cm per month. This all depends on the conditions in which the horse is living. Warm, moist weather my cause the hoof to grow faster; cold, dry conditions slow the growth down.
Horses hooves are made of the same material as your toenails. Therefore they grow constantly and need to be trimmed every once in a while. Horse shoes, however are made of metal and are attached to the hoof and therefore never grow.
If mud or manure gets trapped in the contours of a horses hoof, it can start to rot and in turn eat away at the hoof's tissue causing many problems.
