frog

An anatomical term refering to the wedge shaped pad of softer horn on the sole side of the hoof. The frog is the most flexible part of the hoof as the horn has a lower keratin content. The widest part of the frog is level with to the angle of the heels and the apex points towards the toe. The long axis of the frog should divide the hoof into two almost equal halves.
