When Do Frog Pads Help Transitioning Horses?
If a horse has atrophied frogs and has compromised movement, I cut frog shaped wedges out of a foam kneeling pad (sold in garden departments) and tape the wedge to the sole of the boot where the frog will hit, then boot the horse and walk it out to see if it encourages better movement. If it does, I duct tape the frog pad firmly in place in the sole of the boot. EasyCare also sells frog pads.
