I was always told never to touch the frog of the horses foot...But hey, what do I know? I've never actually owned a horse..:P I'm still learning. I was told that it you hit the frog, that it hurt them, so I was always scared to do ANYTHING with their feet. I'd get other people to do it. (I used to just go for lessons and I would just do stalls and stuff. I never really messed with the horses besides grooming and the occasional trail ride)
In answer to Nick06Baseball most horse owners just make sure their hooves are trimmed every month. Their hooves are similar to our fingernails in the way they can grow quickly. How often you have it done can differ from horse to horse according to if they have problems with their feet of not.
interesting to compare this paso's feet with mine (see Taco's trim). Taco's feet are very much more "alive" with healthy horn whereas this one has very dead looking feet with wall horn seperated from the sole especially on the hind. also, the frog "shedding" is because most feet have little circulation like this one whereas Taco has very good circulation and grows tight white line(laminar horn) and healthy vibrant color horn.
very informative video you are a credit to the farrier profession thank you for posting this video so horseowners can see how it should be done for the benefit of the horse
