The navicular bone has two functions: * To protect the joint and tendons from pressure and concussion (the navicular bone acts as a pulley on the deep digital flexor tendon, which takes some of the stress off the coffin bone). * To act as a valve for blood flow to the coffin bone and corium inside the hoof. reference: http://www.recoveryeq.com/navicular_horses.htm

The most sensitive part of a horses foot is called the "frog". This forms a V like shape which is found in the centre of the sole. The frog is a flexible, spongy pad which is also a weight-bearing surface. It is the middle organ between the plantar cushion and the origin of pressure from the horses foot (feet). The frog is distinguished from the sole of the foot by two lines called commissures. The most sensitive part of a horses foot is called the "frog".
