new frog coming out

Question
hello sir, how frequently the frog of the hoof keeps growing? i mean, old one worn out and the new frog growing.

Answer
HELLO ROHIT...

The frog continusley grows year round. It usually exfoliates little by little all
year long in small increments.

At times, especially during periods of rainy/wet weather, the frog can turn loose and shed
off in big pieces and can be sensitive because the new frog underneath hasn't had time
to callouse up enough !!

Thank You !!
