No infection is called a frog. The frog is a part of the horses foot. It is shaped like a "V" and acts as the cushion for the bottom of hoof.

A frog can become infected however. Usually from an anaerobic bacteria called thrush. Thrush can be caused from a wet and dirty environment. It is important to keep a horses living area clean of manure and urine. Equally important is to regularly pick a horses feet free of mud, dirt, rocks and manure so that air can get to the frog preventing the disease.

If a horse has thrush it should be treated with any of the many over the counter topical treatments that will kill the bacteria.
