RE: [RC] [BarefootEnduranceHorses] white powdery/gooey frogs - Lif StrandAt 12:28 PM 11/15/2009, Linda Cowles wrote:Sounds like she's shedding the frog! Frogs shed seasonally (fall and spring) when hair coats change, so its normal. Horses that have hoof protection often can't wear off the shedding frog. My horses now run barefoot over lava rock all the time, so they've got feet of iron and frogs are worn down on their own, but I'll never forget my panic with my first horse, Froggie, when I thought the core of his hoof was falling out! The frog was just shedding, but I had never seen that before. He was shod, of course - back then I believed in keeping those shoes on my horses. _____________________________________ Lif C.
