Best Answer

The parts of a horses foot are the frog,hoof crown, and other parts.

A horse's foot is called a HOOF. There is an old saying "no foot, no horse" meaningif a horse cannot use its hooves it is good for nothing: riding, farm work, ect.

Hoof care is important because if a horse is lame or has a bad hooof it cannot be ridden. The hoof of a horse is divided into two parts: the outer insensitive parts and the inner, sensitive parts.

A horse's hooves need to be trimmed every 4 to 6 weeks, its like cutting and filing your nails.

The Outer Insensitive Parts of A Horse's Hoof include the outer wall, the sole, and the frog.

The Inner Sensitive Parts of A Horse's Hoof include bones and cartilage.

Outer wall = made of dense horn and is constantly growing

Frog= triangular shaped structure in the center of hoof
