The frog is the soft spongy triangular piece of tissue at the back of a horses hoof, it cushioning to the hoof and leg and Helps to keep the circulation of blood moving through the hoof and leg by expanding and contracting with the horses movement. It will not hurt the horse to touch the frog . You do have to keep the entire hoof clean so you will need to clean the frog, typically this involves picking out the hoof around it and along side it. You can clean the frog itself by using a soft hoof brush to gently wipe debris away.
