‼️Help! My horse’s sole is falling out/frog has fallen off‼️

This is a common phrase we hear this time of year with our Great British weather 🌧⛅🌦🌩🌥⛈☀️🌧

Exfoliating soles or frogs is a natural process especially when horses retain sole for extra protection from harder ground.

This natural shedding seems exaggerated by accelerated hoof growth, rapid changes in ground conditions and moisture, or sometimes after a solar abscess.

Typically, there's no need to panic if you notice chunks of sole or frog exfoliating but keep everything clean and clear of debris until fully shedded or the foot is trimmed.
