Post 4 - More training

Yes, I’m still watching the online videos and trying to remember all the parts of the horse. Today the video introduced cleaning the hooves of a horse. We will be doing this before each rider mounts the horse. The hoof is often impacted with mud, so we need to remove the dirt and debris. I’ll mention the instruments used in a later post. For today, notice the look of the hoof itself—the item in the top center part is called a “frog”—I don’t know why. But that area is sensitive, so the online video states we must be careful when working in that area.

Comment request---Why is that spot called a frog?
