Abstract

The aim of our research was to assess the spread of limb diseases, visualise the clinical picture of frog hoof thrush as the most common pathology in the conditions of equestrian sports clubs in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region. The obtained results clearly prove that among the diseases of the distal limbs frog hoof thrush is the most common pathology in horses. Proper hoof care is strategically important for maintaining a healthy frog, for which it is necessary to entrust hoof maintenance to specialists with appropriate education and sufficient practical experience, allowing to accurately diagnose by clinical signs the presence of a pathological process in the frog at an early stage and, if necessary, take measures to stop the pathological focus.
